Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola says a decision over his future at Dean Court is now close to being made.

The Spaniard is off contract in June and has the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham and Crystal Palace all interested in his services.

"Definitely (closer to a decision). It is something we will decide sooner rather than later, but there is no news," Iraola said at a press conference on Friday. "When there is something to say, we will say it."

Pressed further, Iraola added: "I have one thing clear, the club and me are very open. We talk a lot and very sincerely. We have open conversations, but obviously we cannot say here, outside, what we are telling inside. I think that's how we should work.

"I have a great relationship with (technical director) Simon (Francis) and (president of football operations) Tiago (Pinto). Everything is fine between us. We have things that we discuss, but they are internal conversations."
