Bournemouth want to secure the future of manager Andoni Iraola with a new long-term deal, sources have told Football Insider.

Iraola, 42, is only under contract at the Vitality Stadium until June 2026.

The Spaniard has proven to be a top appointment after raising eyebrows when he arrived to replace Gary O'Neil last year (2023).

He has done a great job so far on the south coast, transforming their fortunes after their battle against relegation in the 2022-23 campaign.

Bournemouth's ambitious owners now want to build on the project by tying the Spanish boss down to a big new deal.

Iraola's side are now established in mid-table and Cherries fans are daring to dream about a potential push into the European places.

His Bournemouth side finished 12th in the Premier League last term - some 22 points clear of the drop zone and only one point from the top half.

Bournemouth keen to give Iraola a new long-term deal

Dominic Solanke impressed under his management last season before securing a mega-money move to Tottenham in the off-season.

Antoine Semenyo and Milos Kerkez are among the current Bournemouth stars being tipped to follow the England international to an elite Premier League side.

The 42-year-old had previously managed at Rayo Vallecano, CD Mirandes and AEK Larnaca before the Cherries took a risk and brought him to the Premier League.

Iraola will be hoping to better Bournemouth's best-ever Premier League finish this season - which is currently Eddie Howe's ninth-place finish in the 2016-17 campaign.
