There is more and more chatter coming out about Chelseaâs push for Andoni Iraola.
It makes sense that heâs the first name to come under the microscope. He is Premier League experienced, heâs young and a rising talent, heâs also able to speak to clubs given his contract with Bournemouth is up in the summer.
The Daily Mail say that heâs on the list with Marco Silva and Eddie Howe, also Premier League experienced but still locked into their current jobs.
This is going to be a very long chase, with some candidates not even available to speak to until July when the World Cup is finished. So donât think that just because weâre speaking to Iraola first it means heâs the front runner.
According to this report, Crystal Palace are really keen on Iraola too, and it will be interesting to see if theyâre able to pressure us into making an early decision by getting really serious with him.
Chelsea's interest in Andoni Iraola stems from various strategic reasons that align with their current needs for a managerial change.
While Chelsea has reached out to Andoni Iraola, they are also exploring other managerial candidates, though specific names have not been disclosed.
Multiple sources have reported that Chelsea has initiated contact with Andoni Iraola, suggesting a serious consideration of him for the managerial role.
