Iraola 'definitely up there' among best Bournemouth bosses - Cook
Former Bournemouth defender Steve Cook says Andoni Iraola should be considered as one of the club's greatest ever managers. He told BBC Radio Solent: "He has really propelled them up the table and helped them make a lot of money with player sales. He is definitely up there [as] one of the greatest.
"He has done an incredible job. I think he's a manager that probably doesn't stay around too long and I think three years is probably his spell. He obviously wants to challenge himself in another way and I think he probably deserves that.
"He has done an outstanding job at Bournemouth and in his eyes, maybe he thinks he has taken the club as far as he thinks he can get them.
