La Liga
Real Betis is going through a delicate moment after their unexpected elimination from the Europa League. The defeat against Braga, going from a 2-0 lead to a final 2-4 at La Cartuja, has had a strong impact on the club's sports planning.
Real Betis management has not hidden their concern. The project, which seemed consolidated under the leadership of Manuel Pellegrini, is now under review. The feeling within the club is that the team has lost solidity at crucial moments.
Real Betis begins to doubt Manuel Pellegrini
Manuel Pellegrini's credit remains important, but he is no longer untouchable. Despite having renewed his contract in the past, doubts exist at Real Betis as to whether he is the right coach to lead the team's next step.
The match against Braga has been a turning point. The lack of reaction and defensive errors have raised the alarm. Real Betis expected to compete in Europe with more guarantees, and the elimination has left many questions unanswered.
Manuel Pellegrini has been key to the club's recent successes, but football demands immediate results. Real Betis needs to become competitive again in all competitions, sparking a debate about the coaching position.
Andoni Iraola, Real Betis' Favorite
In this context, the name of Andoni Iraola has gained strength. The Spanish coach, currently in charge of AFC Bournemouth, does not have his continuity guaranteed and could leave at the end of the season. Real Betis sees him as a very interesting option.
Andoni Iraola has shown his ability to build intense and competitive teams. His style fits the idea of modernizing Real Betis' game and stepping up in quality in Europe.
The verdiblanco club wants to get ahead of other potential suitors. They know that Andoni Iraola is in demand and that his profile is appealing in various leagues. Therefore, Real Betis is seriously considering his incorporation.

A Shift in Real Betis' Cycle
The potential replacement of Manuel Pellegrini would not be an easy decision. His legacy in the club is significant and has laid a solid foundation. However, Real Betis believes that the time may have come to start a new stage and if the Andoni Iraola option fails, the club also has in mind to go for Valverde as a reliable alternative.
Choosing Andoni Iraola would be a clear sign of renewal. A younger coach with fresh ideas and the ability to evolve the project. Real Betis wants to keep growing and compete on par with the best.
Fans are also starting to demand answers. The European setback has left a mark, and the environment is seeking solutions. Real Betis knows they cannot afford to make mistakes in their next decision.
Real Betis faces crucial weeks. The continuity of Manuel Pellegrini will depend on how the season ends, but the Andoni Iraola option is already on the table. Everything suggests that the club is preparing to make a decision that will shape its immediate future.
