Bournemouth SACK manager Jason Tindall despite being sixth in the Championship table

Bournemouth have sacked manager Jason Tindall this morning after the Cherries lost at home to Sheffield Wednesday last night – their fourth league defeat in a row. 

Tindall, who was assistant to Eddie Howe during his eight-year second spell in charge which included five years in the Premier League, was given the role after Howe resigned in July following their relegation to the Championship. 

Yet despite being in the play-off spots, their form has plummeted in the last month and having won just once in their last eight league games, Tindall has lost his job after six months in charge.

A club statement read: ‘AFC Bournemouth have today parted company with manager Jason Tindall. 

‘It is a decision which has not been taken lightly, given Jason’s outstanding commitment to the club as a player, assistant manager and manager. 

‘However, recent performances and results have fallen well below the board’s expectations. We feel a change is needed now in order to give the club the best possible chance of achieving the goals that were clearly set out last summer.

‘We would like to place on record our thanks to Jason for his services to AFC Bournemouth over the past 22 years. 

‘He is someone who is fondly thought of throughout the club, having played an important role in rescuing the club from its darkest days and taking it on the greatest journey it has ever had. 

‘Jason will always be welcome at Vitality Stadium and we would like to wish him every success for the future.’
