Bournemouth Latest: Bournemouth Announces Departure of Head Coach Gary O’Neil
AFC Bournemouth have announced that Gary O’Neil has left his position as head coach by mutual consent. The club thanked O’Neil for his contribution and wished him well for the future.
O’Neil joined the Cherries as a first-team coach in October 2022 and took over as interim head coach a month later, following the departure of Scott Parker. He was given the job on a permanent basis in November 2022 and guided the team to a 15th-place finish in the Premier League last season. A return of 10 wins and six draws in the Premier League was enough to maintain the club’s position in the top flight, effectively securing survival with four matches remaining.
O’Neil said: “I have enjoyed my time at AFC Bournemouth and I am proud of what we achieved together. I want to thank the players, staff and fans for their support and I wish the club all the best for the future.”
The club thanked Gary for his contribution and wished him well for the future. A statement on the club’s official website read: “We would like to place on record our thanks to Gary for his hard work and dedication during his time at AFC Bournemouth. He stepped up to the challenge of leading the team at a difficult time and helped us achieve our objective of staying in the Premier League. We wish him all the best for his future endeavours.”
The club has subsequently confirmed the appointment of Andoni Iraola as new head coach.
