“It has been an honour to enjoy this adventure in the day-to-day company of Matt Hobbs, Matt Wild, head of player care Lisa Hollis and every single employee of the club; whom I wish to thank for their support and help at every moment.”
“Also, of course, I want to thank the players, who have always given the maximum to achieve our objectives, and especially the fans that made me feel like one of them from the very first moment and have always been amazing to me, my staff and my family.”
Former manager of Bournemouth Gary O’Neil has been appointed in his stead after guiding Bournemouth to a 15th-place finish in the Premier League last term, making this his second official managerial job.
The 40-year-old has just five days to prepare for his first match in charge, which comes at Old Trafford against Manchester United on Monday.
