Former Premier League striker and BBC pundit Chris Sutton has said that he doesn't want Marcelo Bielsa to take the Bournemouth job as it'd be 'too risky'.
The 67-year-old has been without a job since he left Leeds United in February after a poor start to the season where he was replaced by Jesse Marsch.
Bielsa seems to be the Cherries' favourite to become their new manager, replacing interim boss Gary O'Neil who himself replaced Scott Parker after he was sacked four games into the season following a 9-0 loss to Liverpool.

While Sutton knows how entertaining Bielsa's style of football can be, he told BBC Radio 5 Live that he wouldn't want to see him take over Bournemouth and that they should stick with their current man.
"As a whole, why change something? We all know if Bielsa comes in, with this group of players, then I assume, he’s going to play the Bielsa brand of football.
"Will these players be able to adapt and stay in the Premier League? So, if the goal is just about staying in the Premier League, then Gary O’Neil is the man and Bielsa is too much of a risk."
Leeds supporters were not happy at the prospect of their former manager going to a Premier League rival, with some saying they'd never see him the same again.
