Bournemouth chairman Jeff Morstyn has described Eddie Howe as the "best young coach in the country".

Mostyn's comments came shortly before his side triumphed 4-0 away at Huddersfield Town on the opening day of the Championship season, and the result is only sure to further Mostyn's belief in his manager.

"You say one of the brightest young coaches in the country, but without being biased I believe he is the best," he told theFA.com.

"Eddie is articulate, has an insatiable appetite for learning and he doesn't leave anything to chance. The way he works with youngsters as well, everything he does is inspiring.

"He works, plans, plots and schemes – and I think if you ever listen to him speak he is one of the few that always thinks before he says anything and he comes across as the most articulate manager in the Championship."

Bournemouth's opening day result has put them top of the Championship table.
