Iraola close to Chelsea: Londoners are looking for a new manager

The next managerial intrigue in the English Premier League is heating up. Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola is seriously considering the option of taking charge of Chelsea in the summer.
According to well-known insider Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish specialist wants to continue his career in England, and the Blues option appeals to him greatly. The fact that he could become a free agent in the summer makes the situation even more interesting.
At present, Chelsea’s management has begun searching for a new head coach after parting ways with Liam Rosenior. According to sources, Iraola, 43, is being viewed as the main favorite on the list of candidates.
The Spanish coach took over Bournemouth in the summer of 2023 and quickly brought the team to a competitive level. The team is currently in seventh place with 49 points after 34 rounds. Interestingly, Chelsea are with 48 points exactly one place below, in eighth.
In short, this could be a major step for Iraola. If he takes over Chelsea, it could mark a new turning point not only in his career, but also in the balance of power in the Premier League.
