Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits he enjoyed his Premier League debut on Saturday.

The Cherries drew 1-1 with West Ham at Dean Court for the first game of the season.

Iraola said: “I slept okay. I normally sleep very well! When I wake up, the nerves start.

“You need to have this as a player or a coach. I think there has to be something moving inside, because it's the way it has to be. But we are really looking forward to the next one.

“The first thing is to play, there is no other thing than to play, but after playing I think being a coach is also really exciting."

He added: “I was nervous because it was my first Premier League game. For me it was a special day.

“I wanted to play well, I wanted to win. We finished with a point.

“I came after a coach who has been successful here, who made a very good season. The goal was there after a promotion and taking the team after some weeks.

“Obviously it was very good from Gary (O'Neil) in the past season here. We start now a new season, with also the willingness of finishing successfully."
