O’Neil started his coaching career as assistant manager of Liverpool’s U23 team before working under Jonathan Woodgate and then Parker at Bournemouth.
The impact that O’Neil has made at Bournemouth led to him being nominated for September’s Premier League manager of the month award along with Manchester United’s Erik ten Hag and Tottenham’s Antonio Conte.
O’Neil had been linked with the manager’s job at Huddersfield, but the 39-year-old seems set to remain at Bournemouth.
After the international break, Bournemouth, who are in 12th place in the Premier League, will face Leicester at home.
