CHERRIES managerial duo Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall have agreed terms on new contracts.
The inspirational pair, who led Cherries to a dramatic relegation escape last season, are expected to officially put pen to paper on fresh three-year deals later this week.
The duo, alongside new chairman Eddie Mitchell, revealed the news at an impromptu Dean Court press conference this afternoon.
Asked if he had been impressed by his early dealings with Howe, Mitchell said: "Very much so, otherwise I don’t think we’d be offering a three-year contract.
"We admire Eddie’s determination and his enthusiasm and he speaks well and has a high regard for the club and community."
Cherries begin their pre-season campaign against Poole Town at Tatnam this evening.
