FORMER Cherries boss Lee Bradbury has been relieved of his duties as boss of Eastleigh.

His assistant Brian Stock, the ex-Cherries midfielder, has also lost his job.

The decision comes following the Spitfires’ 2-0 defeat away at Southend United last night.

Eastleigh have just three points from their opening five National League fixtures this season.

Stretching back to last season, where they saw their play-off charge falter, Eastleigh have not won in 12 league fixtures, since March.

Bradbury was Cherries boss between January 2011 and March 2012, guiding them into the League One play-offs.

He joined Eastleigh in March 2022, recording 22 victories from 66 games in charge.

Richard Hill has been placed in interim charge of Eastleigh, supported by Jason Bristow, as a search for a new boss begins.
