Wilcox eyes fresh beginning

Bournemouth's new assistant manager Russ Wilcox is looking forward to starting afresh at the League One outfit.

Wilcox was formally appointed as boss Lee Bradbury's number two on Thursday after a rapid interview process. Having never worked with Bradbury or any of the Cherries playing staff in his previous coaching roles, the 47-year-old said he is keen to start learning more about the squad. "It's all been a bit crash, bang, whallop. I came down here for interview and it's all gone pretty fast," he told Press Association Sport "I have not worked with any of the players before and I have not worked with any of the management before so it's a clean sheet of paper for me and I'm looking forward to it. "The team are on a good run at the moment so there's not much to tinker with but if I can be that extra pair of eyes then that is a good thing."
