Stability, coupled with a directive to build a team in his mould, are said to be far more important factors for Iraola than prestige.<\/p>\n
It is likely that Iraola and his advisers are keeping their ears to the ground for what vacancies could be on the horizon.<\/p>\n
Of course, the managerial market is gearing up to be extremely competitive heading into next season.<\/p>\n
Xabi Alonso, Enzo Maresca and Ruben Amorim to name just three are currently out of work and available.<\/p>\n
Glasner has confirmed he is leaving Palace at the end of the season. Thomas Frank, given his plight at Tottenham<\/a>, could be available.<\/p>\n Then there are international managers Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Carlo Ancelotti and Julian Nagelsmann, who could also be out of work after the World Cup.<\/p>\n Indeed, the availability of so many top managers could benefit any plans Bournemouth<\/a> have of trying to extend Iraola’s contract into another season.<\/p>\n But you would imagine Iraola will be asking himself whether he has taken Bournemouth<\/a> as far as he can before making a decision on his future at the Vitality.<\/p>\n In the past two transfer windows Bournemouth<\/a> have sold three of Iraola’s first-choice back four from last season – Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid, Milos Kerkez to Liverpool<\/a> and Illia Zabarnyi to Paris St-Germain.<\/p>\n They have also sold attacking players Semenyo and Dango Ouattara.<\/p>\n The remaining member of last season’s defence – Marco Senesi – is set to leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires, with sources indicating that he has no intention of signing a new one.<\/p>\n Bournemouth<\/a>‘s recruitment strategy of buying young and selling big has been hugely successful.<\/p>\n The five aforementioned transfers raised a grand total \u00a3254m for Bournemouth<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the summer of window of 2024 they also sold Dominic Solanke to Tottenham<\/a> for \u00a355m.<\/p>\n Teenage striker Junior Eli Kroupi, who has scored seven goals in eight starts since arriving from FC Lorient in the summer in a deal worth about \u00a312m, is the latest to be catching attention.<\/p>\n
