Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is happy for Andoni Iraola over taking the Bournemouth job.
Iraola has left Rayo Vallecano to take charge of Bournemouth.
Arteta told Marca: "Yes, with Iraola I was even a teammate in Antiguoko, when we were 13-14 years old.
"He was a midfielder and I was an inside right. I already knew that Andoni wanted to go out and I'm not surprised that he comes to the Premier.
"I am happy for him. 25 years ago we were teammates and now... in the Premier."
