5 managers who returned to their former clubs (Part 2)

#4. Eddie Howe ( Bournemouth 2008-2010,2012- )

Howe was awarded Manager of the decade award

Bournemouth's current manager Eddie Howe began his coaching career as a youth coach in 2007 after he retired from football at the age of 28 after picking up a knee injury. Taking on the mantle as a youth coach for a year, Howe was promoted to manager in 2008 after the dismissal of Jimmy Quinn.

In his first season in charge, Howe led the club back into League One, earning promotion after finishing runners-up. The Englishman left the club the following season and joined Championship side Burnley on a three-year contract.

After two mid-table Championship finishes at Burnley in his two seasons at the club, Howe left citing personal reasons and re-joined Bournemouth in 2012.

The Englishman secured promotion to the Championship in his first season back at the club and then in two years guided Bournemouth to the top-flight of English football, by winning the Championship. Earning the club its first ever promotion to the Premier League, Howe and Bournemouth continue to fight to keep their place in England's elite footballing league.
