Iraola wins Premier League manager of the month

It is a double celebration on the south coast today as Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been named Premier League manager of the month to join Justin Kluivert who scooped the player award.

Bournemouth's January featured huge 4-1 and 5-0 wins over Newcastle and Nottingham Forest respectively as well as beating Everton 1-0 and drawing 2-2 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The demolition of Forest stretched their club-record unbeaten Premier League run to 11 games before February's defeat by Liverpool.

Away from their European push in the league, Bournemouth also progressed to the FA Cup fourth round with victory over West Brom where they will face Everton on Saturday.

It is the second time Iraola has won the award after doing so in March 2024.
