Iraola decision to leave Bournemouth ânot about any other clubâ
Andoni Iraola says that his decision to leave Bournemouth at the end of the season has nothing to do with joining another club.
The Spaniard confirmed this week that he will end his three-year stint on the south coast when his contract expires in the summer.
Iraola has been linked with a number of roles after doing a highly impressive job with the Cherries. Under his leadership the team achieved their highest-ever Premier League finish and broke their record points total, finishing 9th on 56 points last season.
The 43-year-old was linked with vacancies at Manchester United and Spurs earlier this season and is reportedly âopenâ to taking the reins at Old Trafford. He is also the bookmakersâ favourite to take over at Newcastle United if Eddie Howe is sacked, although it is widely expected he will be in the dugout at Athletic Club next season.
Ernesto Valverde will step down at the end of this season, opening the door for Iraola to return to the club where he spent the majority of his playing career.
