Bournemouth boss Iraola: Vieira big influence on my career

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has highlighted the influence of Patrick Vieira on his coaching career.

Iraola played for Vieira at New York City FC. Vieira, formerly manager of Crystal Palace, is now in charge of Chelsea-owned Strasbourg.

Iraola told Radio Marca: "I have had coaches with more experience but he is the first with a different idea.

"It was a moment to better understand the game from another point of view."

He also said: "You don't know what can happen in the future. I'm not one to ask for many things. That we don't have many injuries.

"We have to earn it if we want to look higher."
