Exclusive: Andoni Iraola Sack Update at Bournemouth
AFC Bournemouth remain firmly behind head coach Andoni Iraola despite the club’s worrying run of form in the Premier League, sources have told Football Insider.
The Cherries are currently enduring a 12-game winless streak in the league, a sequence that has seen them slide down the table after a promising start to the campaign. However, there is no immediate pressure on Iraola’s position, with sources insisting the Spanish boss continues to retain the backing of “everybody” within the Bournemouth hierarchy.
Despite growing outside speculation, the mood inside the Vitality Stadium is said to be calm rather than panicked. The club’s board believe Iraola still has the qualities needed to steady the ship and guide Bournemouth back to positive results, even as performances have dipped in recent weeks.
Names such as Oliver Glasner and Roberto De Zerbi have been loosely mentioned as potential candidates should the situation change, but Football Insider understands there have been no concrete moves or discussions to replace Iraola at this stage.
Iraola is out of contract next summer, yet sources have made it clear that Bournemouth have no desire to lose their manager at present.
That stance remains unchanged even with key attacker Antoine Semenyo expected to depart this month, a development that could further test the squad in the second half of the season.
While results have not reflected the early optimism of Iraola’s tenure, Bournemouth’s leadership continue to back their long-term vision. The belief remains that with patience, stability, and the right adjustments, Iraola can turn the club’s fortunes around and steer the Cherries away from danger.
For now, despite the pressure that naturally comes with a prolonged winless run, Andoni Iraola’s job is safe — and the Bournemouth board are standing united behind their man.
