Head coach has taken club close to a European place42-year-old’s deal expires at the end of next season
Bournemouth’s owner, Bill Foley, is planning contract talks with Andoni Iraola next week and there is growing confidence at the club that the in-demand head coach can be persuaded to stay. The Spaniard’s contract expires at the end of next season and Foley wants him to sign a longer deal, despite interest from clubs such as Tottenham. Foley is due to fly to Bournemouth after Easter and meet Iraola to discuss the future, with a new contract on offer.
Ange Postecoglou is under huge pressure at Tottenham after losing 17 Premier League games, and only winning the Europa League could keep him in the job. Spurs play their quarter-final second leg at Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday, with the tie finely balanced at 1-1.
