Bournemouth finally name Gary O'Neil as head coach after 89 days as caretaker boss

Bournemouth have appointed Gary O'Neil as their new head coach.

O'Neil, 39, has signed an 18-month deal at the Dean Court after an 89-day spell as caretaker boss. Bournemouth, who are 14th in the Premier League, have the option to extend his contract by a further 12 months if he continues to impress on the south coast.

This is O'Neil's first permanent job in management. He joined the Cherries' coaching staff in February 2021 and became their interim boss in August following the departure of Scott Parker. The ex-midfielder has won four of his first 12 games in all competitions.
