Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, who has helmed the revolution the Cherries seem to be enjoying in the Premier League, opined that he is happy at the South Coast club and added that he seeks to take the club as far as they possibly can.
The Cherries stand 10th in the league but only 4 points behind fifth-placed Manchester City, whom they are set to take on in the quarterfinal of the FA Cup on Sunday. Iraola has also drawn interest from Tottenham, who are languishing at 14th in the table under Ange Postecoglou.
The Bournemouth manager, however, stated that he is happy with the Cherries and that he wants to perform to the maximum of his abilities.
“I want to do my job the best I can. I don’t know how far we can go, where we will finish. I want to do my job the best I can,” Iraola said.
“If I don’t do the job very well, they will find someone else,” he stated bluntly.
“I’m really happy here. We have a great opportunity to make history and it would be amazing for me personally, for the club to achieve new heights, but we know that we have to be realistic,” he said as Bournemouth eye history in pursuit of their first major trophy.
“There are better teams than us and we have to fight against teams that are very good. We will try to give the best level we have.”
Iraola was also all praise for teenage defender Dean Huijsen, who seems to have caught the fancies of the football world with his performances for the Cherries over the past year and impressed yet again on his Spain debut.
“We are not surprised with the reports, probably because he has now made his national team debut, he has played well, probably they are talking more about him,” Iraola said.
“He has been playing consistently and I think he has performed very well,” the 42-year-old said.
“He has faced very difficult forwards but we already knew he was a very good player when he came in the summer,” the Bournemouth gaffer concluded.
