Fabian Hurzeler said: “I’m a big fan of (Iraola) and influencing the things that you can influence on the pitch and I always say how much you run, how much high speed you do and how much sprints you do you can influence.
"It’s a style of play and that’s why I’ve followed him already since he started at Bournemouth, especially in Germany because it was a big thing that he improved his team with these things that you influence.
"In the table of running, these high-speed sprints distances, (Bournemouth) immediately went to top three and by doing this they improve their results of his club and that’s why I’ve got a lot of respect for how he made his impact on Bournemouth and now he’s also improve their style of play whilst in play.
