Andoni Iraola, the Bournemouth manager, is set to leave the club at the end of the season, surprising many who believed Tottenham Hotspur should have pursued him more vigorously. Miguel Delaney, a journalist for the Independent, noted that Spurs had shown interest in Iraola last year when they contemplated parting ways with Ange Postecoglou. Instead, they opted for Thomas Frank and have since cycled through two managers, with Roberto De Zerbi now at the helm. De Zerbi's first match resulted in a 1-0 defeat to Sunderland, leaving Spurs in a precarious position as they aim to avoid relegation. Meanwhile, Iraola has made a significant impact at Bournemouth, leading them to a 12th-place finish in his first season and currently sitting 11th in the league. As Tottenham prepares for upcoming matches against Brighton & Hove Albion and others, questions linger about whether their fortunes might have been different had they secured Iraola's services.
