Bournemouth caretaker boss Gary O'Neil is backing their move for former Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Members of Cherries' board have reportedly been in Las Vegas this week to discuss plans for the future, with prospective new owner Bill Foley.

Asked about the links to Bielsa, following his side's 3-0 victory over Everton, O'Neil said: “There's been noise for the last couple of days, so huge respect for Marcelo Bielsa and what he's achieved.

“His reputation and the work he's done is fantastic.

“I am sure if Marcelo Bielsa was to come to Bournemouth, he'd do a very good job."
