Iraola named Premier League Manager of the Month

Andoni Iraola has been named the Premier League’s Manager of the Month for March.

The Cherries head coach guided the team to an unbeaten run last month over four matches.

Starting with a 2-0 victory away to Burnley, a trio of home fixtures resulted in seven points with wins over Luton Town and Crystal Palace following a draw with Sheffield United.

Iraola’s team found the back of the net on ten occasions, more than any other top-flight side last month.

Also nominated for the award were Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta, Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp and Tottenham Hotspur’s Ange Postecoglu.

Iraola is the first Cherries boss to claim the award since Eddie Howe in October 2018.
