When Tottenham replaced coach Enze Postecoglou, Andoni Iraola, the most wanted candidate, is expected to stay at Bournemouth.
Already, the separation between Postecoglou and Tottenham is almost definitive. Matt Roe, a reporter for the British Telegraph, said on the 12th (Korean time) "Postecoglou is likely to be dismissed if he fails to advance to the European competition. Even if Tottenham win its first championship trophy since 2008 and secure a place in the European Champions League (UCL), chances are high that it will leave the team."
Tottenham's replacement for Postecoglou is Iraola, who has already been known through leading media several times. Mauricio Pochettino had a similar career as before coming to Tottenham. He started his coaching career in Spain and landed in England with good results. It is highly regarded for finding young players well while playing attractive attacking football in Bournemouth.
He led Bournemouth's all-time record. Again this season, he has developed attractive attacking football at Bournemouth. Many predicted that Iraola would be shaken by Tottenham's temptation as his contract with Bournemouth was only one year away. Tottenham can also take it if it pays a penalty of 10 million euros (about 16.2 billion won).
However, it is understood that there is a growing atmosphere that Iraola will stay at Bournemouth. "Iraola is under considerable temptation, but Bournemouth insiders expect Iraola to stay with the team and spend the last year of his contract," Davis Onstein, who works for The Athletic in the U.K., told NBC Sports on the 15th. Maybe sign a contract, wait for his transfer after seeing what happens`Iraola will remain at Bournemouth next season. Onstein is the most intelligent reporter in the Premier League (EPL).
The Telegraph also predicted the possibility of Iraola staying. The media reported that "Bournemouth's concern is to leave manager Iraola in the interest of Tottenham, one of the potential courters. Bournemouth do not want to lose Iraola. The club is trying to persuade him to sign a new contract. There is hope and small optimism that Iraola will sign a new contract."
The Bournemouth owner never wanted to send Iraola to another team. I was in discussion with the agent, but the conversation seems to have worked out better than I thought. There is a growing possibility that Tottenham will not be able to bring in coach Iraola. Plan B includes Brentford coach Thomas Frank and Fulham coach Marco Silva.
