Cherries remain in Howe's heart
Eddie Howe has admitted Bournemouth will always hold a special place in his heart after he quit the club to take the reins at Burnley.
The 33-year-old left the npower League One side to replace Brian Laws at Turf Moor and has been joined by his assistant Jason Tindall.
Howe led the Cherries from the depths of League Two to League One promotion contenders and looked set to stay at the club after turning down offers from both Charlton and Crystal Palace last week.
After deciding to accept the Burnley job, Howe insisted: "I will always love Bournemouth and the supporters for the backing they gave me during my time there. I joined Bournemouth when I was 11 and came through the centre of excellence and the youth team to become a player there.
"I went on to become reserve-team manager, centre of excellence manager and then first-team manager, so I've done near enough most jobs there.
"It was where I was brought up as well, so it was a big decision to leave, and it was only going to be to a club that was ambitious and ticked all the boxes. Burnley does that."
