Eddie Howe has previously admitted that his work ethic is his best asset and he is already starting to show that at Newcastle United.
After finally being announced as Steve Bruce’s replacement on Monday, the 43-year-old arrived at the club’s training ground before 7am on Tuesday.
Alongside the coaching staff he has brought to St James’ Park, Howe was pictured unloading his belongings as he prepares for life in the North East.

During his time at Bournemouth, he has been quoted as being the first person to arrive at the training ground in the morning and the last to leave in the evening every day.
If that is the case at Newcastle then he will certainly endear himself to the supporters who have always appreciated players, coaches and managers working hard for the club.
Howe will be able to get plenty of preparation in for his first game as Magpies boss as it is nearly two weeks until the Premier League returns following the international break.
His immense attention to detail will ensure that no stone is left unturned ahead of the visit of Brentford and he has lots of time to devise what he believes to be the strongest starting XI.
With only five first-team players away on international duty, it will give Howe a well-needed extended period to work with his new squad to begin implementing his ideas.
With the new Magpies boss favouring a totally different style of football to Bruce, 12 days’ worth of uninterrupted training will be welcomed ahead of the upcoming busy winter period.
