Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola says the club’s business in the January transfer window will not have any bearing on his future.
The 43-year-old is out of contract in the summer and is expected to leave the club.
He guided the Cherries to ninth place last season but has seen many first-team players leave, including key attacker Antoine Semenyo joining Manchester City last month.
Iraola was asked if the young signings he was able to make this winter could make it more difficult for him to potentially walk away in the summer.
“You are making it sound like I am like almost testing the club, sign very good players so I can stay,” Iraola said.
“And from my side, it’s not like this. I think I try to help the club to sign the better players we can. And we’ve tried to do this in the winter market.
“Some players we haven’t been able to sign, others yes, like in every market. And now the market is not the important thing for me.
“The important thing is the performances, how we build a team, how we play games, how we can continue getting points. And this is the substantial part.”
