Bournemouth have lost a number of key players in recent years, and soon the same could happen with their manager. Andoni Iraola has attracted a lot of interest over the past 18 months, and in 2026 he could then move on.
It’s been quite a difficult season for Bournemouth, who find themselves 15th in the Premier League table. Iraola’s magic hasn’t worked, and while he’s unlikely to be sacked, he could decide to leave at the end of the season.
Andoni Iraola considering leaving Bournemouth
According to Football Insider, Mick Brown has revealed that Iraola has a good chance of leaving Bournemouth when his contract expires at the end of the season.
“I don’t think there is any immediate threat of him losing his job. He has plenty of credit in the bank so it would be a shock if there was. The realists, if there are any left, will look at the situation he finds himself in, all the players who left in the summer and the job he has done in those circumstances. “Now is the time for them to get behind him and support him, that would be the sensible reaction and that is the route I think Bournemouth will take. take.
“From his point of view, he will look at the situation he is in. Results have gone down a bit recently, does he think that is something he can fix, or is it a deeper problem with the club that could be a long-term thing? Depending on what he thinks and how he feels, that will decide his future.
“With his contract expiring at the end of the season, he will weigh his options and perhaps leave Bournemouth sooner than expected. He has a lot of admirers which we have already spoken about, so that will give him a decision to make.”
Where could Andoni Iraola end up if he leaves Bournemouth?
Liverpool are among the clubs interested in Iraola, so if he decides against signing a new contract with Bournemouth, they could be well placed to make a move for him – provided Arne Slot is relieved of his duties at Anfield.
