Bournemouth
Before the start of the last season, the team received Andoni Iraola as a coach. Not everyone understood the decision to call the Basque, removing Gary O’Neill for his sake, who in 2022/2023 kept the rookie EPL registration. But in the end, the new mentor managed to adjust the game and finish the last season in 12th position. Before the new draw, the management was tempted by the offer of Tottenham, selling Solanke there. But the team did not seem to notice such a loss, not only did not give up, but even added. Winning almost half of the matches, it remains among the candidates for European Cups. Moreover, after a 1:1 draw with West Ham, Manchester United was defeated 3:0, and this result was recorded at Old Trafford.

The club has achieved stability under Hodgson. But the status of the middle peasant got used to both the owners and the management. The first attempt to make progress without Starina Roy was unsuccessful: Patrick Vieira started well, but in the end had to return the predecessor. It seemed that history might repeat itself. Glasner, who arrived a little less than a year ago, looked good with his new wards in the spring, but in the new EPL it was not possible to win in 8 first rounds in a row. But the Austrian was able to do what the Frenchman could not: in the fall, the situation changed, and what’s more, from the end of November, an unbeaten streak began in a difficult calendar. At the same time, they continued to fight in the League Cup. However, they lost in the quarter-finals against Arsenal. They played with him in the last round – and there was already a crushing defeat against the neighbor.
