Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola joins bosses of the Premier League's top four in being nominated for Manager of the Year Award. 

The Spaniard is on his way to leading the Cherries to a top-half finish in an impressive debut campaign at the club. 

The standout result in their thrilling season came in December when they humbled Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford. 

Remarkably, three of the other four managers nominated for the award are Spanish, as Premier League title rivals Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta get set to battle for another honour this term. 

Unai Emery has been recognised for transforming the fortunes of Aston Villa and taking them to the cusp of Champions League qualification, while outgoing Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp rounds out the five-man shortlist.
