It is an excellent record and the best of any Cherries boss in the top flight, with a win percentage of 36 per cent and a number of highlights across his tenure.

The Daily Echo asked fans to tell us which game stands out for them, and there were a range, but many which cropped up on a number of occasions.
The standout game from Iraola’s first season in charge was the remarkable comeback victory over Luton Town.

Trailing 3-0 at halftime, they roared back to win 4-3. That game was the pick of Berkshire Cherry on the website, who said: “Luton (H) 4-3, having been 0-3 down at h/t.”
Peter Ive on Facebook agreed, while James Curtis picked that game or another remarkable comeback, the 3-2 win on Merseyside against Everton last term.
Keith Habgood was the same, and he said: “Everton away when we were two down and got three late goals, for a home game it has to be Luton when we were three down and scored four second half attacking the north stand.”
That Everton game was also a popular choice. Again trailing, this time by two goals and with just three minutes to play of the 90, three goals in nine minutes turned the game in the Cherries’ favour.

Ken Chiverton said: “Everton away, quite remarkable when we didn't have a shot until 82nd minute, 2-0 down, then scored three from the 86th minute. Great stuff, Everton fans giving it large, then boom.
“How we laughed listening to the Everton fans crying on Talksport on the way home.”
Jason Allen said: “Everton away when we were 2-0 and won it 3-2 was something special.”
Neil Dunnachie picked that game too, while Kevin Steel selected that match, or the team’s first ever victory over Manchester City, which came last season in a 2-1 win at the Vitality Stadium.
Jay Humphrey chose the City victory as well, while Philip Trevett picked the two 3-0 wins over Manchester United in back-to-back visits to Old Trafford.
Danny Lisk went for the United games or the 2-1 win at Arsenal last season to record the club’s first double over the Gunners.
Cutter on the website said this season’s dramatic 4-4 draw at the Theatre of Dreams was his choice.
Another very popular option was the 4-1 win over Newcastle last season.

With the squad down to the bare bones, Justin Kluivert scored a hattrick and Milos Kerkez completed the scoring to record a thumping win over former boss Eddie Howe in the best performance of the season.
Matthew Innes said: “Newcastle away with only 11 fit first team players,” while Jeff Craft wrote: “4-1 at Newcastle. Our best ever performance.”
Craig Nevitt chose that game too, while Bmthexile on the Echo website picked that game or the two Old Trafford wins.
Kev Poulter has fond memories of the 3-1 win over Southampton at Dean Court.
He said: “I think it was last season’s home game against Southampton.

“I watched that game in a Southampton pub full of Saints fans, all of which were expecting Saints to win, but I knew they were going to be in for a good hiding.
“Finished up 3-1 and it would have been more if Bournemouth hadn't taken their foot off the gas pedal in the second half.
“Come the game at St Mary's Saints were a bit more realistic and would have settled with losing 3-1 before kick off, which they did.”
Poole Sea and Tom Bennett both chose games in the past month, in the Spurs win and the Liverpool victory, both with stoppage time goals.
The former said: “Semenyo’s farewell gift of three points and his last kick for our club- matched only by Adli’s last minute goal against Liverpool.”
Bennett said: “Beating Liverpool was epic for me as I was at the match. He’s been a great manager for Bournemouth.”
