Jonathan Woodgate: Bournemouth appoint ex-Middlesbrough boss as head coach for rest of season

Championship club Bournemouth have appointed Jonathan Woodgate as head coach until the end of the season.

Former Middlesbrough boss Woodgate has won three of his five games in charge in all competitions.

"As we head into a crucial part of the season, stability and clarity is of paramount importance," chief executive Neill Blake told the club website.

The Dorset club, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, are sixth in the Championship table, eight points adrift of the automatic promotion places.

Tindall took over from Eddie Howe in August on a three-year deal, but was dismissed following a five-match winless run in the league.
