With Iraola’s contract set to expire in the summer, the club had been looking to agree terms on a new deal, but have now reluctantly accepted his departure.

“AFC Bournemouth can confirm that head coach, Andoni Iraola, will leave the club at the conclusion of the 2025/26 season, bringing an end to his successful three-year tenure on the south coast,” a statement read.

Iraola has been linked with a return to former team Athletic Bilbao as well as the Manchester United job.
