Andoni Iraola might snub a move to Tottenham Hotspur and instead remain with Bournemouth for at least another season.

According to a report by Give Me Sport, Andoni Iraola is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The Lilywhites are scouring the market for a manager amid uncertainties surrounding Ange Postecoglou’s long-term future. However, the Bournemouth manager could snub the North London outfit to remain with the Premier League club for at least another season.

Andoni Iraola and his exploits in the Premier League

Andoni Iraola has established himself as one of the best managers in the Premier League since joining Bournemouth nearly two years ago. The English top flight has witnessed an influx of young and promising tacticians in the last half a decade, and the Spaniard has added to that group.

The 42-year-old brought Bournemouth to the cusp of sealing a top-half finish in his debut season at the Vitality Stadium, and the Cherries will likely finish in the top ten this term. Iraola’s men are eighth in the standings, with fifth-placed Manchester City seven points ahead, giving the Cherries an outside chance of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.

So, it is hardly surprising that the Spanish tactician has piqued the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe with his exploits for Bournemouth. Widespread reports have linked Iraola with Manchester City. However, Tottenham Hotspur will aim to beat the competition to his signature in the summer.

London calling?

Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Andoni Iraola is understandable. Ange Postecoglou is in a spot of bother after a horrendous 2024/25 campaign. Tottenham Hotspur will unlikely seal a top-half finish, with European qualification hinging on winning the UEFA Europa League this season.

So, it is hardly surprising that the Lilywhites are exploring the managerial market, with Iraola emerging as a top target. However, the 42-year-old Spaniard might snub Tottenham Hotspur amid Bournemouth’s endeavour to tie him to a new long-term contract.

The Cherries envision a long-term future with Iraola, and it is hardly surprising that they want to tie him to a new contract. It will be interesting to see who becomes Tottenham’s top managerial target amid uncertainties surrounding Ange Postecoglou’s long-term future.
