Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson is a contender to become Bournemouth’s new manager.
The 45-year-old former Cherries midfielder is on the club’s list to replace Eddie Howe, the PA news agency understands.
Bournemouth, who were relegated from the Premier League last week, are aiming for a swift appointment with next season’s Sky Bet Championship campaign starting on September 12.
Speaking after Motherwell’s 1-0 defeat at Ross County on Monday night, Robinson said: “My sole focus is on Motherwell. I can’t control what people write.”
He was a candidate for the Northern Ireland job earlier this season before Ian Baraclough was confirmed as Michael O’Neill’s successor in June.
The former Oldham boss has won 66 of his 146 games in charge after being appointed Mark McGhee’s replacement in March 2017. Motherwell face Ross County in their opening SPL game of the season on Monday.
Bournemouth’s five-year stay in the top flight ended despite a 3-1 win at Everton on the final day of the season.
The new boss is likely to face a challenge to keep the Cherries’ star men with Aaron Ramsdale, Callum Wilson and Josh King already linked with moves away.
