After learning that Andoni Iraola will be leaving Bournemouth at the end of the season, Crystal Palace has taken swift action.
After deciding to leave Bournemouth when his contract expires this summer, the Spaniard has made a similar choice to Oliver Glasner rather than continue his outstanding job with the Cherries.
Alan Nixon stated that Iraola is interested in managing Crystal Palace, and Marca, a Spanish newspaper, has now advanced the story by saying that Steve Parish has made an offer.
Andoni Iraola receives an offer from Crystal Palace.
According to the Spanish news source, Crystal Palace has made the man who was born in Usurbil a multi-million pound offer to move from the south coast to south London.
According to Marca, Parish’s offer is a long-term one, and Iraola is now weighing his options before making a choice in the next few days.
Under the 43-year-old, Crystal Palace are prepared to invest millions, and the report goes on to say that they want him to lead a new endeavor after Glasner leaves SE25 at the end of the season.
It’s also been reported that Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao, where Iraola played for 510 games during his career, are interested, but Parish has taken proactive measures to try to minimize any rivalry.
Since retiring from professional football, the former manager of AEK Larnaca has accumulated 90 draws and 132 victories in 335 games as a manager, and his Bournemouth team is now in the middle of a 12-game winning streak in the Premier League.
Despite losing Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City in January and Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez, Illia Zabarnyi, and Dango Ouattara last summer, Iraola has still been able to accomplish that.
As the Bournemouth manager weighs the bid from Crystal Palace, keep an eye on the situation.
