Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has reportedly stated that teams need to instruct players to dive in order to win penalties, according to a headline attributed to the Spanish coach. A file photo from November 1, 2026, shows Iraola on the touchline during a Carabao Cup fourth-round match between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield, though Iraola manages Bournemouth, not Liverpool. The comments, if accurate, would add to ongoing debates about simulation in English football. No further details or direct quotes were provided in the source material.
