2019–20 AFC Bournemouth season
AFC Bournemouth 2019–20 football season
The 2019–20 AFC Bournemouth season was the club's fifth consecutive season in the top flight of English football and their 130th year in existence.[1] This season, Bournemouth participated in the Premier League and also participated in the EFL Cup and the FA Cup. The season covered the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020, which was extended to 26 July 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bournemouth were relegated to the EFL Championship after five years in the Premier League on the final day of the season as they finished just one point from safety in 18th,[2] with their relegation followed by the exit of manager Eddie Howe after eight years in charge five days after the season concluded.[3]
