Bournemouth appoint Jason Tindall as new manager

Following the departure of Eddie Howe, Bournemouth have appointed Jason Tindall as their new manager.

Howe left the club by mutual consent following their relegation from the Premier League in the 2019/20 season.

Tindall has now stepped up from his role as assistant manager and has signed a three-year deal with the club.

“It’s an honour and a privilege to be the manager of such a great football club,” the 42-year-old said. “Bournemouth had been in the top flight for five years before dropping back to the Championship.

“Given the success of the club over the past 12 years, with Eddie in charge and me by his side, I’m not going to come in and rip everything up and start again. I would be a fool to do that. But I’m my own person with my own ideas and I will be looking to implement them as soon as we get back on the training ground.

“I know the Championship is a very tough league, but my aim is to get this club back into the Premier League at the first time of asking,” Tindall added.

“This is a challenge that I feel I’m ready for and one I’m looking forward to.”
