Bournemouth confirm Andoni Iraola will leave the club at the end of the season. Since his appointment, Bournemouth delivered a record points total of 56 in 2024/25 and are currently only three points off sixth place. An amicable parting after 15 months of talks. Bournemouth pushed to try and keep Iraola. 🗣️ Iraola: “It has been an honour to manage AFC Bournemouth and I am proud of what we have achieved together. I’m thankful to the players and staff that I’ve worked with, as well as Bill, who have all made my time here so special.” 🗣️ Chairman Bill Foley: “Andoni has been instrumental in shaping the direction of this football club over the past three seasons. He brought intensity, innovation, and a clear philosophy that elevated AFC Bournemouth both on and off the pitch.” 🗣️ Tiago Pinto: “Andoni is someone I have a lot of admiration for, both as a head coach and as a person. His attention to detail, tactical intelligence and ability to bring the best out of players is something we have seen every day.” As revealed on @talkSPORT, Marco Rose is a leading contender to replace Iraola. Kieran McKenna another option but the cost of hiring the Ipswich boss presents a challenge.🍒
