He said,  “In football you never know, I am very happy in England and I have renewed for another season.

“The contract in the coaching world is not of much use, but I want to try to do very well there.

“Bournemouth's project is very good, young people with a long career.

“That has a close similarity with Rayo, although Rayo has more history than Bournemouth, but it does have a humble feeling.

“Each club has its characteristics, but with similarities.”         

Iraola added on leaving Rayo: “We made the decision with the club, we wanted to have a new experience, although we had had three very good years here.

“The coaches either decide when they leave or they kick you out.

“We were fighting for Europe until the last game, but I think it was time to close it.

“Three very nice seasons, but I think it was the right thing to do.”
