AFC Bournemouth interim boss Gary O'Neil says he has "huge respect" for Marcelo Bielsa amid reports linking the Argentine with the managerial vacancy at Dean Court.
The former Leeds United boss has been in talks with the Cherries and is favourite to permanently succeed Scott Parker on the South Coast.
Gary O'Neil has been in caretaker charge since Parker's sacking in August and has enjoyed mixed results in the managerial hotseat. He went unbeaten in his first six matches, before losing four games on the spin.
