Foley welcomes Iraola as new Bournemouth manager

Andoni Iraola has been named new manager of Bournemouth.

Iraola moves to the Cherries after departing from Rayo Vallecano today.

The Spaniard replaces Gary O'Neil, who was sacked in the morning by Bournemouth owner Bill Foley.

"We're so excited to welcome Andoni to the club," said Foley.

Foley added: "With his contract in Spain coming to an end this summer we wanted to act quickly.

"He was highly sought after by other clubs across the continent, and his style of play has been an important factor in making this decision. His achievements in Spain have certainly been very impressive and we're confident that he is the right man to lead our next chapter."
