Andoni Iraola bids farewell to Bournemouth after impressive three-year reign

Ultimately, Iraola will conclude his time at the Vitality Stadium after three years, during which he led the Cherries to their highest-ever Premier League finish (ninth) and their points record (56) in 2024/2025.

With only six matches remaining this season, he has the chance to depart on a high note if the team can achieve European qualification for the first time in their history.

Bournemouth sits in tenth place in the table, only six points adrift of sixth-placed Chelsea.

Additionally, the Dorset outfit is currently enjoying an impressive 12-game unbeaten run, including a significant 2-1 victory against league leaders Arsenal last Saturday.

Could Iraola be headed for Manchester United?

Recent updates regarding management usually trigger speculation about United, given their current instability in the dugout.

Following six wins and one draw in his first seven games, fans were optimistic about Michael Carrick potentially staying long-term.

However, United's collection of just four points from their last four matches has diminished Carrick's support among the fanbase.

Romano's insights on Iraola and United

The news of Iraola’s upcoming exit from Bournemouth has stoked speculation about a possible role at Old Trafford, and Romano addressed this on his YouTube channel last night.

“If you ask me, ‘Would Andoni Iraola like to be the next Manchester United manager this summer or in the future?’,  I’m told that he would be open to that, for sure,” Romano stated.
