Shane Long's new manager at Bournemouth is already his old manager.
The Cherries sacked Jason Tindall this morning in the wake of last night’s 2-1 Championship defeat at home to Sheffield Wednesday.
It was Bournemouth’s fourth league defeat on the spin under Tindall, who was appointed in August after Eddie Howe’s departure.
Republic of Ireland striker Long, 34, only joined Bournemouth on loan from Southampton late on Monday’s deadline day.
But he did not feature under Tindall as he was not part of the Cherries squad for last night’s defeat to the Owls that leaves the club sixth in the table.
Long will hope to feature in Saturday’s clash at home to Birmingham City.
A Bournemouth statement this morning 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.”
