“Thank you for everything, gaffer.”

Bruno Guimaraes tribute to Eddie Howe:

“Ed,

“How could I ever put into words how grateful I am to you?

“First of all, I want to thank you for bringing me to this club. Thank you for everything you have done for me, for helping me grow not only as a player, but more importantly, as a person.

“You gave me the honour of being captain – of being your captain. That is something I will never forget and will carry with me for the rest of my life.

“Sharing the day-to-day with you and having you as my manager has been a privilege. I’m truly grateful for every opportunity, for the trust you placed in me, and for every moment we shared together.

“Without a doubt, you are one of the best managers I’ve ever had. Please know that my gratitude will always remain, and that you will always have a friend in me.

“Thank you for everything. I wish you and your family nothing but happiness, success, and all the very best.

“With affection,

“Bruno.”
