O’Neil oversaw a significant improvement in the club’s fortunes, guiding them to a 15th-place finish with 39 points with a 5-point gap between themselves and the bottom three by the end of the 2022/23 Premier League season. However, Gary O’Neil was dismissed by the Cherries a few weeks after the season finished.
