Bournemouth manager Iraola prioritizes FA Cup over European competition

Andoni Iraola applauds the fans

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has declared his desire to win the FA Cup over playing in Europe, ahead of their quarter-final clash with Manchester City. In an interview with BBC 5 Live's Football Daily, Iraola expressed his admiration for Pep Guardiola, whom he faced multiple times as a player, and cited Guardiola as the best manager he's ever known. Bournemouth, currently 10th in the Premier League, have produced impressive results under Iraola, notably beating Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham this season. The Cherries' 19-year-old defender, Dean Huijsen, has risen to prominence under Iraola, earning a call-up to the Spanish national team and attracting interest from European giants like Real Madrid.
