Palace eye Iraola to replace Glasner

Crystal Palace are considering a surprise move to appoint Andoni Iraola as their new manager this summer.

Iraola becomes favourite to take top La Liga job

Bournemouth face a fight to keep hold of head coach Andoni Iraola, with Athletic Club stepping up their pursuit of the Spaniard.

RANKED: Spurs' top candidates to replace sacked Frank

Thomas Frank is gone! The morning after a terrible night before, Tottenham Hotspur announced that the Dane had been relieved of his duties as head coach - to nobody's great surprise. Tuesday evening's 2-1 loss at home to fellow underperformers Newcastle extended Tottenham's winless run in the Premier League to eight games - a rotten run of results that has seen them plummet to 16th in the standings.

Agent Rashford?! Mainoo 'might be in contact' with Barcelona

Former Barcelona midfielder Gaizka Mendieta has suggested that Marcus Rashford may be acting as an agent at Camp Nou, with Kobbie Mainoo another of those to be seeing a move from Manchester United to Catalunya speculated on. If the Blaugrana are keen, then loan star Rashford could be used to help talk a fellow England international into treading a similar career path.

RANKED: Amorim's potential Man Utd replacements

The jig is up for Ruben Amorim. After 14 unforgettable months as head coach, he has been sacked by Manchester United. He broke many records for the wrong reasons, lost a European final to Tottenham and was dumped out of the Carabao Cup by fourth-tier side Grimsby Town. Yet it is only now that those upstairs at Old Trafford have decided to pull the trigger.

RANKED: De Zerbi, Fabregas & Chelsea's next manager options

We're only halfway through the season but Chelsea are looking for a new manager, after parting company with Enzo Maresca on New Year's Day. On the one hand, the Italian's exit is a surprise, given he won both the Conference League and Club World Cup during his first season at Stamford Bridge. However, it had been clear for some time that Maresca wasn't entirely happy in west London, with the former Leicester City boss sensationally going public with a perceived lack of support within the club after last month's Champions League loss to Atalanta.

Manchester City v Bournemouth - Premier League

Iraola insists City target Semenyo remains 'important' for Bournemouth

Andoni Iraola has made it clear that Antoine Semenyo is still an "important player" for Bournemouth despite his reportedly imminent move to Manchester City, insisting he will feature against Arsenal this weekend. Speculation around Semenyo’s future has intensified as the winter window approaches, with City increasingly confident of triggering the winger’s £65 million ($86m) release clause. Yet Iraola has no intention of sidelining his most influential attacker while the Cherries fight to arrest a worrying slide in form.

Semenyo situation 'clear' as Iraola makes 'years' plea

Manchester City’s hopes of landing Antoine Semenyo in January may have taken a hit after Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola made his position crystal clear.

Klopp, Zidane & the candidates to replace Alonso at Madrid

Everything was looking rosy for Xabi Alonso after a thumping 4-0 home win over Valencia on November 1, which was Real Madrid's 13th victory out of 14 games across all competitions in the first few months of the season. Los Blancos were top of La Liga by five points ahead of Clasico rivals Barcelona, who they beat 2-1 at the Bernabeu seven days earlier, and they'd racked up nine points out of a possible nine in the Champions League, with Juventus among their victims.

'It's impossible!' - Bournemouth helpless to stop Haaland

Erling Haaland gave yet another reminder of his monstrous goalscoring powers as he scored twice in Manchester City's 3-1 win over Bournemouth, and afterwards the Cherries' boss Andoni Iraola and captain David Brooks admitted there was almost nothing they could do to stop him. Haaland drew a rare blank in last week's 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa but responded in a typically ruthless fashion.

LaLiga club set sights on landing high-flying Iraola

The Spanish manager has become loved by the locals after spending just two-and-a-half years on the south coast. Bournemouth has also grown in stature since the 43-year-old came on board.
