Ex-Bolton boss Phil Parkinson has spoken warmly of former Wanderers midfielder Gary O'Neil as he takes up the permanent manager job at Bournemouth.
O'Neil ended his career at Wanderers in the 2018/19 season under Parkinson. He played 31 games and scored three times in that campaign.
Since then, he has begun his managerial career and had been in caretaker charge of the Cherries following the departure of Scott Parker from the Premier League club. However, the Vitality Stadium club have since decided to install O'Neil on a permanent basis in the dugout at the top flight outfit.
