Eddie Howe has signed a new contract to remain as Bournemouth manager beyond 2018.
The 37-year-old was already committed to the club for the coming two and a half years, but has negotiated a lengthier stay - believed to be until 2020 - after a clause in his previous contract was activated by their recent promotion.
As well as providing Howe with a rare - by Premier League managerial standards - job security, the development also represents a significant coup for Bournemouth, given their highly-rated former defender is widely considered a potential England manager.
