With Bournemouth having such a slow start in the Premier League, the Spanish media already worries about Andoni Iraola’s future at the club.
The Cherries took the manager from Rayo Vallecano, handing him a two-year contract, and his home country’s press wonders whether he’ll be able to stay in England for that long.
AS feature a story explaining how Iraola ‘suffocates’ during his start with Bournemouth, as his time in the Premier League could ‘end much sooner than expected’.
Apart from the clubs who were promoted from the Championship this year, the Cherries are the only side who haven’t won a single match yet.
With three draws and three defeats, Bournemouth currently stand in 17th place with three points.
In AS’s own words, ‘Iraola is beginning to enter the pools to be the first coach dismissed from the Premier League 2023-2024’.
Bournemouth are now taking a break from the Premier League, as on Wednesday they face Stoke City in the third round of the EFL Cup.
There’s a tougher challenge coming up, though, as they then face Arsenal at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday. We shall see how that result impacts in Iraola’s future, but perhaps the Spanish media are panicking too soon.
