Bournemouth boss Iraola signs contract extension

Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola has signed a 12-month contract extension to stay at the club until at least the end of the 2025-26 season.

Iraola, 41, joined the Cherries on a two-year deal in June 2023 and, after a slow start, has led the club to their highest points total in the Premier League during his first campaign in charge.

Bournemouth are 11th in the table on 48 points and face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on the final day of the season on Sunday.

"I'm very happy to sign the contract. For me, it is a matter of renewing the confidence from both sides," the Spaniard told the club's website.

"We have had a good experience with our first season together in the Premier League, and I am happy that both sides want to continue the relationship further."
