Spanish Coach Iraola Takes Over At Bournemouth, Replacing O'Neil

Iraola becomes the 4th Basque coach currently leading a team in the English Premier League
Iraola comes from Spanish club Rayo Vallecano, where his high-pressing style was successful.
Bournemouth owner Bill Foley said it was a difficult decision to fire Gary O'Neil but wanted to best position the team for next season.
Bournemouth finished 15th in the Premier League last season while Rayo Vallecano forced the 2nd most turnovers leading to shots in La Liga under Iraola.
Foley believes Iraola is the right choice to help Bournemouth execute their strategy going forward.
