Cassano praised Iraola's coaching style, saying that he makes teams play like European teams. He described Iraola as a "phenomenon" with a great personality.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has confirmed Cassano's claims. He expressed his gratitude for Cassano's endorsement and acknowledged his own lack of experience coaching big clubs.

Iraola stated that he values Cassano's opinion, given his playing experience at top-level clubs. He is happy with his own career as a coach and appreciates the recognition from a respected player like Cassano.
