' Howe, who has been in charge of Newcastle since 2021, thanked everybody at the club for the way in which they have embraced him. He said: 'It's very emotional when people take to you. You never know when you go to a new club if people will understand your character. I am who I am and people have been absolutely brilliant.

The Magpies are currently in sixth place in the table and will be eager to qualify for the Champions League.   Their victory at Wembley has earned them a place in the Conference League play-off, which the Magpies would be expected to win, though they will be keen to try and cash in on a more reputable competition if the chance should arise. The 2021 census stated that Newcastle has a population of around 300, 000, meaning that roughly half of the entire city turned out to welcome their heroes.
