JIMMY Quinn is set to replace Kevin Bond as manager of AFC Bournemouth - with Jason Tindall as his assistant.
The former Cherries pair are believed to be the choice of new owners Alastair Saverimutto and Paul Baker after Bond and his management team were relieved of their duties at the club in the past hour.
Bond - together with assistants Rob Newman and Eddie Howe - has paid the price for Cherries' poor start to the new season.
They were summoned to an emergency board meeting at Dean Court earlier today and have left the club with immediate effect.
Head of youth Joe Roach will take charge of Cherries' Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash against Bristol Rovers tomorrow, with Quinn and Tindall expected to be installed later this week.
- The club has called a press conference for midday tomorrow.
