JOE Jordan is set to join Cherries as a first-team coach, the Daily Echo understands.

Jordan is set to start work tomorrow and will become the second coach hired to Jonathan Woodgate's backroom staff since he become head coach at the weekend.

Gary O'Neil joined Cherries yesterday from Liverpool and is involved in the dugout for tonight's game against Cardiff.

Jordan, 69, earned more than 50 caps for Scotland and previously worked with Woodgate at Middlesbrough during the 2016-17 season.

He has managed Bristol City, Hearts and Stoke with his most recent managerial role coming as caretaker at Portsmouth in 2008.

Speaking to the Daily Echo yesterday about his coaching staff, Woodgate said: "I’ll look to bring a couple in. I’ll look to bring one more coach and then someone with experience as well.

"My coaching team at Middlesbrough was very good, I was really happy with it. I just wish we’d added something, a bit more experience to it. But if I can bring a first-team coach to take my place as I was and then bring another assistant in to work alongside Purchy (Stephen Purches) and myself, that will be even better."
