'I don’t want to get back in just for the sake of it': Eddie Howe reveals why he quit Bournemouth and says he'll only return to football if there's a job offer that motivates him

Eddie Howe has opened up about his departure from Bournemouth during the summer and what the future holds for him.

The 42-year-old rejoined the Cherries as manager in 2012 when the club were in League One after less than two years at Burnley.

He secured promotion back to the Championship in his first season back on the South Coast, the first time the club had been in the second tier for 23 years.

Howe's men then backed that up with a 10th-placed finish before thrilling the league with an exhilarating brand of football that saw them win the title and reach the Premier League in 2015.
