At the same time, the club emphasized that their immediate focus remains on finishing the current season strongly, with players and staff fully committed to maintaining their positive momentum.
Iraola’s Lasting Impact

Under his leadership, the team delivered memorable results, including a standout victory against Arsenal at the Emirates. His attacking and fearless style will not be easy to replicate.
A Crucial End to the Season
