'It is the perfect ending' - What Iraola said

Andoni Iraola, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I am feeling so happy right now, so, so happy. Now that everything is done is when you start to think and I become a little bit more emotional. I enjoyed the last moments, the celebrations with the supporters.

"I am quite hard, but I have been really close [to tears]. I cannot ask for much more. I have been so lucky to be in this moment with this group of players with this club. I think it is the perfect ending and I am so thankful."

On what will be hardest to say goodbye to: "The people. I see these guys every day. My every day has been so good. I have enjoyed this so much and it is not easy.

"When you go to work with a smile, even in moments where results are maybe not as good, it is more a challenge. The atmosphere in the club is so positive. The club is growing. Now we are getting incredible results, it is good always to work in this kind of environment."

On what is next for him: "I don't know where I am going. I think it is a moment where we will have to take our time and make decisions. Obviously it's not going to be long because teams have to sign managers. Now is the moment where we will take decisions."
