Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has reportedly rejected initial interest from Tottenham Hotspur to replace the recently sacked Thomas Frank.
​Andoni Iraola has dealt Tottenham a major blow by opting to stay at Bournemouth despite interest from North London.
Spurs dismissed Thomas Frank on Tuesday following a dismal run that left the club 16th in the Premier League.
While Iraola was a primary target, he reportedly views the current situation at Tottenham as a “systematic unravelling” and prefers to remain with the Cherries.
​With Iraola out, Spurs may turn to Fulham’s Marco Silva or appoint an interim coach to stabilize the squad during their five-day break.
The club is reeling after Frank’s eight-month tenure ended in domestic freefall. Regarding the search, a source noted:
“He is ambitious and recognises that Tottenham is a ‘big club’ compared to Bournemouth. But the systematic unravelling of the season proved Iraola was right.”
