What Eddie Howe has achieved at Bournemouth is remarkable and after spending an hour with him at that club, it’s impossible to imagine that this is the high-water mark in his young career.
Here’s a different kind of football mind: highly analytical, but also reflective, aware of the influence of his work on his life, and the other way around.
He started his managerial career operating under a transfer embargo, determined to improve the players he had to work with. It’s become his signature – if you listen to this and try to put yourself in his dressing room, I think it’s easy to imagine how it works.
I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.
