This is how much Andoni Iraola will earn after accepting Man United job offer
Andoni Iraola would leave Bournemouth if he is offered the manager job at Manchester United or Tottenham this summer.
That is according to former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider it wouldn’t be a financially-motivated decision for Iraola.
Man United are considering their managerial options after sacking Ruben Amorim last month.
Michael Carrick has enjoyed an unbeaten start as interim boss, but it remains unclear whether he will land the job on a permanent basis.
Meanwhile, Igor Tudor suffered a 4-1 defeat against Arsenal in his opening game in charge of Tottenham, having been drafted in as Thomas Frank’s replacement until the end of the season.
Why Andoni Iraola’s wages will not be important in Man United decision
Iraola has enjoyed a successful spell as Bournemouth manager since being appointed in the summer of 2023.
The Cherries currently sit eighth in the Premier League table, providing them with a chance to qualify for Europe this season.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson insisted the Man United or Tottenham job could prove difficult for Iraola to turn down.
“I think you have to be honest and say that it won’t come down to just money and salary,” said Borson.
“Bournemouth have done amazingly well over the last two or three years with their business. That’s not just signings. That’s the outgoings as well. They’ve sold multiple players for over €50million (£43.7m) and brought in replacements who seem to have hit the ground running.
“Iraola is obviously a very highly-rated coach, but clearly if the United or the Tottenham job comes up in the summer, I think he will go for one of those jobs.
“Regardless of the quality of Bournemouth’s team because Bournemouth just have to keep doing it. It’s highly risky for a manager to just keep going and having to keep on doing it.”
Why Iraola is considering Bournemouth exit
Borson revealed Iraola is likely to earn between £5-7m whether he decides to leave Bournemouth or not this summer.
“Regardless of the financial position, regardless of the money offered to him, the money anyway will be broadly the same, whether he goes to Spurs or Manchester United, or whether Bournemouth make a special case of keeping him,” said Borson.
“I mean, the overall earnings will be £5m, £6m or £7m a year. It’s going to be broadly the same.
“It feels like the summer would be the time that he would think about moving on, unless he could see in let’s say 12 months from this summer an even better opportunity coming along.”
Iraola’s contract with Bournemouth expires on 30 June, raising questions around his future at the Vitality Stadium.
