“Remarkable Boss’ Verdict on Tottenham Job Unveiled as Levy Hunts Ange’s Successor”
“Astounding Boss’ Stance on Tottenham Job Revealed as Levy Targets Ange Successor”
According to TBR Football, Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola is said to be holding off on signing a new contract with the club due to reported interest from Tottenham.
Spurs currently sit 14th in the Premier League, with Ange Postecoglou facing heavy criticism. Their season has been further derailed by exits from all domestic cup competitions and a crippling injury crisis, dampening hopes of success.
If Tottenham fail to reverse their poor form soon, Ange Postecoglou could be heading for an unavoidable exit. Sources indicate that the club’s hierarchy has already begun exploring potential replacements.
Tottenham Eye Bournemouth Boss Iraola
The Spanish manager has yet to pledge his future to the Vitality Stadium, fueling speculation of a possible move.
Daily Mail journalist Sami Mokbel previously reported that Iraola was on Tottenham’s radar as a potential replacement if they decide to part ways with Postecoglou this year. In light of this, TBR Football claims the 42-year-old has informed Bournemouth that he wants to delay committing to a new deal.
Iraola signed a one-year extension in May 2024, keeping him at the club until 2026. However, Bournemouth’s hierarchy is eager to secure his services for a longer period, though formal negotiations over a new contract have yet to begin.
With external interest growing, Iraola has requested additional time before making a final decision about his future.
Andoni Iraola vs. Ange Postecoglou – Managerial Record Comparison
Postecoglou holds a slightly higher win rate and goals-per-game ratio, but Iraola has a more balanced record in terms of draws and losses.
Previously praised as “incredible” by Pep Guardiola, Andoni Iraola guided Bournemouth to their best-ever Premier League finish last season, securing 12th place with 48 points. This campaign, they have defied expectations and currently sit 5th, putting them in contention for European football if they can maintain their impressive form.
Notably, when Iraola faced Postecoglou earlier this season, it was the Bournemouth boss who came out on top with a well-executed 1-0 home victory in December.
Whether Tottenham can persuade the former Rayo Vallecano manager to make the move to North London remains uncertain, especially with Fabrizio Romano revealing to GIVEMESPORT that clubs across Europe are also showing strong interest in his services.
