Gary O'Neil has been named new manager of Bournemouth.

The 39-year-old had been in the role on an interim basis since August.

He took charge of 12 matches prior to the World Cup break, guiding Cherries to 14th in the Premier League table as well as into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

And O'Neil has been rewarded for that string of results with an 18-month contract until the summer of 2024, which the club can extend by a further 12 months.

His record as interim boss read four wins, four draws and four defeats.
