Former Leeds United defender Jonathan Woodgate admits he's surprised to have been given the Bournemouth job as a caretaker.

Woodgate only joined Bournemouth as a first-team coach on Monday - two days before the club sacked their former manager, Jason Tindall, following their fourth league defeat in a row.

When asked to explain his reaction at being named Bournemouth's caretaker manager, Woodgate said he was: "Surprised."

The former England centre-back added: "I didn't think anything like this would happen so early.

"I know managers come under pressure at times. I have been involved with [around] 25 managers over my career and I know it is a cut-throat business, but I didn't think it was going to be that early that it would happen."
