JASON Tindall is set to be named Cherries’ new manager today, according to reports.

Sky Sports News and TalkSPORT claim the 42-year-old, the long-time assistant to former Cherries boss Eddie Howe, is set to be confirmed as the club’s new manager.

Tindall has been in caretaker charge since Howe’s departure by mutual consent last weekend – with the rest of the coaching staff still in place.

The former defender made 173 appearances in total for the Dorset club, scoring six goals.

Tindall’s only experience of management came at non-league Weymouth in 2007.
