Eddie Howe took his first Newcastle training session on Tuesday after a rigorous opening day in the Magpies role that started just before 7am.
On Monday, the 43-year-old was confirmed as Newcastle's first appointed manager following the Saudi takeover of the club earlier this year, signing a contract until 2024.
And Howe took no time at all to get stuck into his new role a day later, arriving with his assistants at the club's training ground in the dark at around 6.55am, with the former Bournemouth coach taking control of his first training session later in the day.
