Pinto: Iraola has made Bournemouth a successful case study

Speaking with Gianlucadiamarzio.com, Pinto also says everything at Bournemouth revolves around the impact of manager Andoni Iraola.

He said, "We have a great coach, a fantastic man who with the players and the football he has brought to this small stadium has made Bournemouth a case study.

"I have always been a sporting director who liked to sell but now I find myself in a situation where I don't want to sell anyone. It will be difficult."

Pinto added, "When you arrive you realise straight away that it is small but the atmosphere is very positive. I think it is an advantage for us that the stadium is like this. I think it is a bit of the spirit of English football."
