Gary O'Neil has agreed a deal to become the permanent Bournemouth manager.
The former Portsmouth midfielder had already enjoyed a successful spell as caretaker boss after taking over from Scott Parker.
Sky Sports reported he has now agreed an 18-month-contract, with the option of another 12 months depending on results.
O'Neil stepped into the role after Scott Parker's shock dismissal early in the season and has helped steady the ship at the Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries were 17th and had just taken a 9-0 hammering when the former Portsmouth midfielder took over, but have since lost just four out of 11 games in the league and risen to within striking distance of the top half.
