Former Leeds United managerial target Andoni Iraola has been appointed as the new head coach of Bournemouth. The Whites held talks with the former Rayo Vallecano boss as a prospective replacement for Jesse Marsch in February, only for the 40-year-old to opt to remain with Rayo Vallecano.
Iraola's three-year stint with the La Liga side ended this summer following an impressive 11th-placed finish. Now, the former Leeds target will get his first taste of the Premier League after being unveiled as Gary O'Neil's successor with the Cherries on Monday afternoon.
Bournemouth owner and chairman Bill Foley told the club's website: "We're so excited to welcome Andoni to the club. With his contract in Spain coming to an end this summer we wanted to act quickly.
