The Athletic FC Podcast · Where next for Iraola? · 27 May 2026 podcast

aggressive pressing counter pressing and using that as a an attacking tool as well so it definitely makes sense that that they've gone that kind of route I'm interested to see how Rosa does I think in some of his recent appointments he struggled a little bit not least I think working in certain dressing rooms which will be interesting I think I mean I think the Bournemouth dressing room would be

perfectly easy for him to work in but I am kind of interested to see how he performs and I think you know there's a there is a narrative out there that a lot of the best work that Rosa did was when he had René Maric as his assistant now René Maric is at Bayern Munich and there's some people who feel as though there was a bit of a drop off once they parted ways as a manager assistant manager combo so I

I think it'll be interesting to see what he does.

And yeah, my massive shoes to be standing in as well.

So I think that will be a big question too, like how well will he be able to reproduce the sorts of things that Arreola is doing?

Because yeah, there's an expectation at Bournemouth now that this team is a competitive winning team.

Yeah, I think there's plenty of coaches who, if they were dealt the same hands, would have struggled a lot more than Uriola has done.

And I think this is something that's worth talking about because I think whenever anyone asks me about Uriola, it's always like, what are his unique tactics?

What is it that he's getting the team to do?

But coaching is obviously much broader than that.

It's a lot of diverse skills required by a coach.

And I think

Iriola is elite in that respect in a number of ways.

I think one of them is that if you look at the players that he's taken and developed and improved with this system, it's remarkable.

I mean, we mentioned Zabani there.

He went off to PSG.

Dean Howson went off to Real Madrid.

He's producing, okay, these are players who the recruitment department are doing a good job with, but he is taking those players.

Dean Howson played a season and was deemed Real Madrid ready.

So there's that, the ability to take these players and improve them, which is a fundamental aspect to modern elite football, especially given the amount of money that is thrown around in the game.
