News about Andoni Iraola

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola bemoaned two controversial VAR decisions that succumbed his side to defeat by Arsenal. Kai Havertz was awarded a penalty by referee David Coote after making contact with goalkeeper Mark Travers in the area, before hitting the ground. And then in the second half, the Cherries' Philip Billing had a goal chalked out after Dominic Solanke was adjudged to have fouled David Raya in the build-up.

Both sides found themselves on the wrong end of divisive decisions from the officials during a dramatic showdown at the Emirates, with Ryan Christie escaping a red card for a high tackle and the Cherries seeing a goal ruled out in the second half (left). Strikes from Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard put Arsenal on course to move four points clear at the top of the Premier League but the visitors hit back through Antoine Semenyo, the forward bundling in after Christie's strike hit the woodwork. The effort was chalked off, however, after Dominic Solanke was adjudged to have fouled goalkeeper David Raya (top right) after backing into him in the build-up. As the loose ball dropped inside the penalty area, Solanke moved into Raya's path and looked to pressure him while the stopper tried to punch away. Cherries boss Andoni Iraola was incensed (bottom right) but his appeals fell on deaf ears.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has confirmed winger Luis Sinisterra could miss the rest of the season. The Colombia international was forced out of last week's 2-2 home draw against Manchester United in his first match back from a muscle injury. Sinisterra had missed the three previous games and returned to the starting line-up against United, only to aggravate the same problem before being withdrawn shortly before half-time.

Andoni Iraola insisted Bournemouth were robbed of a stoppage-time penalty last night, as Erik ten Hag made a hasty exit from his press conference when quizzed on Manchester United facing their worst finish in a Premier League season. United dropped to seventh in the table and have never finished lower in the competition, but they could fall to eighth if West Ham can beat Fulham today. Ten Hag's visitors relied on Bruno Fernandes to avoid losing at the Vitality Stadium with the captain equalising twice after Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert each gave Bournemouth the lead. Fernandes's second goal arrived from the penalty spot after Kobbie Mainoo 's shot deflected on to the arm of Adam Smith - a handball which Iraola insisted was 'very harsh'.

Erik ten Hag stormed out of his post-match press conference following Manchester United's draw with Bournemouth.  The Red Devils' winless streak in the Premier League extended to four league matches after being held 2-2 by Andoni Iraola's side.  The result ensured United remained seventh in the table having dropped down a position following Newcastle's 4-0 win over Tottenham earlier in the day. 

BOURNEMOUTH 2-2 MAN UNITED - CHRIS WHEELER AT THE VITALITY STADIUM: When Ineos sit down to decide Erik ten Hag's fate, they won't be too worried about the chasm between Manchester United and the Premier League's top three. Even missing out on the Champions League might not be fatal for the Dutchman. But when they think about days like these, days when United were outclassed by Bournemouth, well that might be a different matter. Not once, but twice this season. Bournemouth came away from Old Trafford with a well-deserved 3-0 victory in December, and they would not have been remotely flattered by a similar winning margin here at the Vitality Stadium.

Manchester United find themselves sixth in the Premier League and are all but certain to miss out on Champions League football next season, unless they can put together a flawless remainder of the campaign. Erik ten Hag 's side are 11 points behind Aston Villa, who have played a game more than them, with seven to play. The first of those fixtures is a tough-looking trip to the Vitality Stadium to take on Bournemouth on Saturday evening.

Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth's manager, blamed the winds for his team's 2-1 loss to Luton Town. Through Marcus Tavernier in the 52nd minute, Iraola's crew had taken the lead at Kenilworth Road. Luton responded, with Jordan Clark equalizing before Carlton Morris scored a last minute winner. Iraola had a bizarre explanation for the result after the match, suggesting that the weather was a key factor.

In the Euros play-off victories against Iceland and Bosnia, the 21-year-old played the full 90 minutes before returning to club duty and assisting the Cherries in their win over beleaguered Everton. Zabarnyi has attended every minute of his team's 29 league games this season and is thrilled to have helped war-torn Ukraine qualify for a major tournament.

Following a long recovery from hamstring surgery, Bournemouth midfielder and USMNT captain Tyler Adams could return to the field tomorrow. Adams was on Saturday for Bournemouth's youth team in a match against Colchester United's U-21 squad. I don't think we'll recover anyone ahead of the weekend, but Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola said in a press conference this week that Tyler Adams isn't quite ready, but he did 30 minutes with the development squad this week.'

Despite losing an 11-point gap on the top four, Erik ten Hag isn't about to throw the towel over in Champions League football. With 11 games remaining, hopes of catching Aston Villa in fourth are fading fast, but the possibility of the Premier League's top-five landing Champions League football for next season remains a carrot for United. Tottenham is currently fifth in fifth place, six points ahead of United's playing one less. United's odds are not in favour of the United Kingdom. Mail Sport is attempting to forecast Manchester United's results from the final 11 Premier League matches.

Blank Gameweek 29 is concerned that the FA Cup fifth round cooked up a disaster for Fantasy Premier League managers as far as Blank Gameweek 29 is concerned, with just four matches scheduled to begin this weekend. Wolves, Liverpool, Man United, and Chelsea all confirmed their place in the quarter-finals of the competition on Wednesday night following Man City's 6-2 victory over Luton and Newcastle's narrow victory on penalties against Blackburn on Tuesday. As a result, only four Premier League matches will be scheduled during the FA Cup quarter-final weekend in March: Burnley vs. Brentford; Fulham vs. Tottenham; and West Ham vs. Aston Villa are among the FA Cup quarterfinals on March.

Tyler Adams has returned to training for Bournemouth as he recovers from a hamstring injury - giving the US men's national team a boost ahead of the Copa America. Adams, 25, has played only once for the Cherries since being drafted from Leeds in the summer. In October, he underwent his second surgery on his hamstring. Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola issued a good news on the midfielder on Tuesday, saying he could play with the team's reserves as he recovers his fitness.

In the Carabao Cup final, two Premier League titans will meet Chelsea on Sunday afternoon. These two teams have battled head to head in some epic battles over the years, and this will be the third time the two teams have met in the final of the League Cup. Chelsea lost on penalties in 2022, the last Wembley final being held in 2022. This time out, the Blues will no doubt be keen to revenge for their performance.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: 'FIND the next Roberto De Zerbi.' Thanks to the Italian's eye-catching presence at Brighton, the land, chairmen, and chief executives have all given the same directive to their recruiting teams. De Zerbi has been enthralled in England's boardrooms since he landed in England in September 2022, mainly because of his swanky black jumpers, spiky hair, and empathetically tended beard. Now it seems that it will be a matter of time before he is rocking that look in the Champions League, with European football fans ecstatic to see where he goes next.

Newcastle United defender Lloyd Kelly is weighing a summer transfer for Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly. At the end of this season, the 25-year-old is out of work and making him one of the summer's most highly coveted free agents. So far this season, Kelly has put in a string of good results for Andoni Iraola's team, and clubs have courted her both nationally and internationally.

Bournemouth has allowed the Welsh star to leave on a temporary basis after he only started working under Andoni Iraola during the first half of the campaign. Moore spent 18 months at Portman Road, and although he failed to score in 11 appearances in 2017, he returns with a strong Championship and big-match pedigree. He spent the first six months with Ipswich before moving to Barsnley in January 2018.

When Bournemouth meets Swansea on the south coast on Thursday night, the FA Cup fourth round takes place. Andoni Iraola's side is trying to bounce back from their humiliating loss of 4-0 against Liverpool, who are also in action against Norwich next week. Nearly half of the ties pit teams against one another in the same division, including the heavyweight clashes between Tottenham and Manchester City, Chelsea vs. Aston Villa.

MARTIN KEOWN TALKS TACTICS: The league leaders are heading to town on Sunday, but Bournemouth isn't concerned with Liverpool because they look like they have figured out a winning combination. Theirs has been an incredible run. In ten, seven people have been crowned. In five sheets, there were three clean sheets. Bournemouth has dropped to 12th, and Andoni Iraola's strategic approach has aided this revival. He came from Spain, where he took Rayo Vallecano into La Liga and kept them there with a strategy to press high. Only Bayern Munich caused more turnovers that resulted in shots than Iraola's team in Europe's big five leagues during the 2022-23 season.

Bournemouth and Napoli are in negotiations over Hamed Traore, a midfielder. The Cherries are able to loan the 23-year-old to the Italian side until the end of the season, with the option to buy for £22 million in the summer. Napoli sees Traore as the ideal replacement for Elijf Elmas, who joined the German side RB Leipzig for around £25 million earlier this month.

According to the Telegraph, Newcastle had an inquiry into Dominic Solanke rejected because Bournemouth did not want to sell him this month. Eddie Howe, Newcastle's current manager and former Cherries boss, has long supported Solanke, having brought him to the Vitality Stadium.

IAN HERBERT: The third round weekend is the one that, as football's richest get richer, maintains the game's beating heart, and never has there been a greater desire to understand it. The game's rampant commercialization has eroded the Cup's core, from the removal of replays from the fifth round onwards to the competition's belittlement by Premier League managers sending out defeated teams piece by piece.

KATHRYN BATTE AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: As his Tottenham team defeated Bournemouth's coaching staff, he was embroiled in a tense touchline dispute with them. After Alejo Veliz was forced off with an injury in the 82nd minute, there was screaming and shoving between the two benches. When Veliz went down, Tottenham had used all five of their replacements. The forward attempted to continue but medical staff eventually helped him off the pitch before the touchline melee ensued.

Marcelo Bielsa's spirit is back in the Premier League thanks to Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, and the striker must be grateful to have a striker like Dominic Solanke to help turn his vision into reality. Despite the fact that Iraola is Spanish, he is not all about dominating possession and prettily passing out from the back. For him, the trick is to win the ball in difficult areas. It's both physically fit and offensive. It's also a risk: in some matches, they could get a good deal if teams are strong enough to play around them.
