AFC Bournemouth have appointed Jason Tindall as the club’s new manager.
Tindall succeeds Eddie Howe, who left the club following relegation from the Premier League.
Tindall previously worked under Howe as his assistant. Their pairing saw Bournemouth clinch three promotions in a space of 6 campaigns as they made it to the English top-flight.
Tindall, 42, has signed a three-year contract with the Cherries.
“It’s an honour and a privilege to be the manager of such a great football club,” Tindall told afcbTV.
“Given the success of the club over the last 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.
“This is a challenge that I feel I’m ready for and one I’m looking forward to.”
As a player, Tindall made 199 appearances for Bournemouth across his two playing spells.
