Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe who led the team to a League Cup victory on Sunday is set to be handed the freedom of the city award.
This marked Newcastle’s first since 1969. In the past, the honor has been awarded to Sir Bobby Robson, Alan Shearer, and Jackie Milburn.
City council leader Karen Kilgour told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “Generations of supporters have never seen their beloved club lift a domestic trophy, and under his leadership we all now have treasured memories of a truly unforgettable day.”
