Bournemouth have appointed former Liverpool coach Gary O'Neil as their new permanent head coach on an initial 18-month contract.
O'Neil has made a positive impression at the club during his spell as interim boss, a responsibility he assumed after the Cherries parted company following a 9-0 defeat by the Reds at Anfield at the end of August.
Guiding Bournemouth to four wins during his 12-game spell in charge of the side, the 39-year-old has proven to be a popular figure on the south coast. Initially joining the club last year as a member of the coaching staff, he was present as Premier League promotion was secured.
