Andoni Iraola should 'worry' that a characteristic that his teams will hinder him will get a top job, Jamie Carragher claims.
The Bournemouth -Baas is very furious for giving the Cherries an outer scream for Champions League football next season.
The dynamic, free -flowing style that he has implemented on the south coast has many admirers and has been associated with replacing Ange Postecoglou in Tottenham.
However, Carragher has studied the Achilles' heel of the teams he has managed over the years and is worried that it could deposit chiefs at top clubs.
The sides of Iraola along the years tend to have steam more in the second half of the season. Bournemouth went into the collision on Monday evening with Fulham and had only demanded two points in six games – after picking up 28 in their previous 13.
'The thing that stands out consistently is that there is a drop -off. We know how they play, how physical they are, “Carragher told football on Monday evening.
'In the first half of his seasons (during his career), his points per game, from the start, there is a drop -off (in the second half of the season).
'I think this is a concern for Iraola himself in terms of where he goes in management. He is one of the favorites as one of the so -called giants of the game in this country is looking for a manager.
'Bournemouth fans may not be happy that I say so, the ambition for every player or manager is to be at the top.
'Owners will look at the injury record. You think of (Marcelo) Bielsa, many injuries, Jurgen Klopp, many injuries and Iraola, because of the way they play.
'If they drop so much in the second half of the season, if you are a big club, the second half of the season is when the trophies are spent.
'Don't forget, he is a manager who never succeeded in Europe. He has only managed more than 50 games for one team once in one season. If you are a big club, you play eight to 12, maybe 15 games more.
'I think that is something that future owners will look at when they judge managers. She could scare that off. '
Iraola has supervised an impressive transformation in Bournemouth since he came to the club at the start of last season. After they have led the 12th in the table last term, they are currently in the upper half.
The Spaniard has a year over his deal with the Cherries, which means that a club would have to pay its £ 10 million release clause if they want to secure its services.
He also recently stated that he is' really happy 'in the Vitality Stadium and said:' I want to do my work as well as possible. I don't know how far we can go, where we will end.
'' If I don't do the work so well, they (the owners of Bournemouth) will find someone else who does the work – it is in every job.
“I'm really happy here.”
