Iraola left Rayo Vallecano to join Bournemouth after they parted company with Gary O'Neil last year, and after a difficult start to his tenure, he has overseen a tremendou🐬s campaign.
Bournemouth failed to win any of their first nine league games undeဣr Iraola before beating Burnley in l🔯ate October.
Since that victory, only the current top four of Arsenal (65), Manchester City (64), Liverpool (58) and Aston V🐷illa (48) have bettered the Cherries' tally of 45 points.
Their overall total of 48 for this campaign, meanwhile, is 🅺a new top-flight club record.
Though they were beaten 2-1 by﷽ Bre💟ntford on Saturday, they could still secure a top-half finish when they visit Chelsea for their final game on Sunday, should other results go their way.
Last week, Iraola was rewarded for his fine work with a nomination for the Premier League Manager oඣf the Season award, alongside M💎ikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Unai Emery.
On Monday, the club confirmed he had also penned a one-year extension to the deal he agreed last June, which🌜 was set to expire at the end of 🌸2024-25.
"I'm very happy to sign the contract. For me, it is a matter of ren𝔍ewing the conf𝔉idence from both sides," Iraola told the club's website.
"We have had a good experience with our first season together in the Premier League, and I am happy that both sides want to conti🐻nue the relationship further."
