It's been gathered that the former Bournemouth boss had replaced Steve Bruce who was sacked last week.
Eddie Howe has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal to take over at St James' Park.
If you recall that the 43-year-old had been out of a job since leaving Bournemouth following their relegation from the Premier League two seasons ago.
'It is a great honour to become head coach of a club with the stature and history of Newcastle United. It is a very proud day for me and my family,' Howe said.
'This is a wonderful opportunity, but there is also a lot of work ahead of us and I am eager to get onto the training ground to start working with the players.'
Howe spent 11 years with Bournemouth across two separate spells, the second one lasting eight seasons.
He added: 'I would like to thank the club's owners for this opportunity and thank the club's supporters for the incredible welcome they have already given me. I am very excited to begin our journey together.'
