Bournemouth Works to Retain Iraola Amid Manchester United Interest

One key figure in Bournemouth’s ambition for more than just mid-table stability is manager Andoni Iraola. However, there is now a real chance that the club could lose their head coach.

Details: Iraola is in the final year of his contract with Bournemouth, and Football Insider reports that the club is making efforts to extend it. While there is hope that a new deal will be reached, there are worries that Manchester United might pursue him if they decide to part ways with Ruben Amorim.

Quote: “If Manchester United choose to move on from Amorim, they will look for the best potential candidates. That position will always be appealing: it’s a major club, has a large following, and the management supports its coaches in the transfer market. Iraola has performed well at Bournemouth—even after losing many key players this summer, the team is still improving.

Bournemouth certainly wants to secure him with a new contract and is doing all they can to persuade him to stay, particularly to avoid losing him to a Premier League rival like Manchester United. For now, United remains confident in Amorim and hopes he can improve the situation,” the source mentions.
