Overview
- Iraola, who told players of his decision Tuesday, will finish the season with six games left as Bournemouth sit two points off seventh and a possible Conference League berth.
- Talks on a new contract ran for more than 15 months without agreement, and the club said fitness coach Pablo de la Torre will also depart at the end of the season.
- Bournemouth have shortlisted Marco Rose and Kieran McKenna to replace Iraola, with multiple reports saying Rose is in advanced talks while McKenna remains tied to a release clause.
- Iraola is being linked to Athletic Club and Manchester United, and the Manchester Evening News reports Crystal Palace have tabled a contract offer, though no move is agreed.
- He exits after delivering a club‑record 56 Premier League points and a ninth‑place finish, boosting his market value and prompting Bournemouth to accelerate their hiring plans during a live push for Europe.
