INTERIM boss Gary O’Neil remained coy on his next step at Cherries but added: “I always believe I am in control of my own future.”

The 39-year-old was speaking after seeing his side romp to a 3-0 victory over Everton at Vitality Stadium, thanks to goals from Marcus Tavernier, Kieffer Moore and Jaidon Anthony..

Victory ensured the Dorset club had picked up 13 points in 11 games since the former Portsmouth and West Ham midfielder took temporary charge.

Asked whether the win over the Toffees would be his last at the helm, O’Neil said: “I don’t want to comment on things that haven’t been confirmed yet by the club.

“I have been in constant dialogue with them. I don’t think it would be fair for me to comment on things that haven’t been confirmed yet.”

Previously first-team coach under Jonathan Woodgate and his successor Scott Parker, O’Neil stepped up as interim head coach to lift a Cherries side off the canvas, following a spell of three heavy defeats that ended with a 9-0 hammering at the hands of Liverpool.

Asked when he expected his future to be decided, O’Neil replied: “There will be conversations as always, like after every game I’ve taken. We have a conversation with the club.

“As to when for decisions, I think the club will be best to answer that.”
