Eddi Gau/Vik Howe won praise for navigating Bournemouth through the divisions, but the 43-year-old is still looking for his next club, 12 months after the Cherries were demoted under his watch. He said in March 2015 that he had no plans to retire before then. He joined the club as a player in 1992 and took over as manager two years later. Under him, the club achieved its best ever season in 1994-95 when they finished second in the Premier League. However, it was not enough to save them from being relegated back to Division One. Howe has since been successful at other clubs including Boston United and Bury. He has also managed England's youth teams from 1996 to 2000. He became Bournemouth's manager in May 2013 after spending three seasons with AFC Bournemouth where he led the club to its first ever top-flight promotion. Before this achievement, he had already earned praise for managing to take struggling Portsmouth out of the bottom division and into the top flight in 2008. But he was sacked by Portsmouth just five months later after getting them into an embarrassing position in the table. He has been praised for guiding Bournemouth through the divisions and achieving their best ever finish in the Premier League.
