Gary O’Neil sacked as head coach of Bournemouth

Bournemouth have sacked Gary O’Neil less than seven months after he was appointed as the club’s permanent head coach.

O’Neil guided the Cherries to Premier League safety last season following the dismissal of Scott Parker at the end of August.

According to a club statement, the appointment of a new head coach will be announced imminently.

We can confirm that we’ve parted company with head coach Gary O'Neil. We’d like to place on record our thanks to Gary and wish him all the best for the future.
