Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola says a decision on his future is definitely closer to being made. The 43-year-old manager is out of contract at the Vitality Stadium this summer, according to GiveMeSport. Speaking earlier this week, Iraola stated that he is very happy at the club but admitted that a decision must be made sooner or later.
The Cherries currently sit ninth in the Premier League table, per Tribuna. Bournemouth have reportedly scheduled talks regarding a new deal during the upcoming March international break. The club previously paused negotiations to avoid distractions on the pitch, according to FourFourTwo.
Several top-flight rivals are monitoring the situation. Manchester United, Crystal Palace, and Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs credited with an interest in the Spaniard. Palace manager Oliver Glasner is expected to depart at the end of the season, while Igor Tudor is serving as interim head coach at Tottenham, per LiveScore. Iraola joined Bournemouth in June 2023 and previously signed a one-year extension in May 2024.
