Why Bournemouth swapped O’Neil for Iraola, how Knutsen is dominating Norway again and must move soon plus Enrique’s tactics ahead of a move to PSG…

We’re back again for another #TacticalTuesday of analysis and tactics! Come and fill up on your football knowledge – follow the Total Football Analysis page, join the newsletter squad and make us part of your day every day.

Andoni Iraola has been appointed as the new head coach of AFC Bournemouth – read Bryant Marques’ tactical analysis of Iraola’s Bielsa-like tactics to see what we can expect from the Cherries next season.

Kjetil Knutsen has been a coach to keep an eye on for some time now and it is surprising to many he hasn’t moved on to a bigger league – his Bodo/Glimt side are dominating the Eliteserien again and Rui Martins takes a closer look at his tactical evolution.

Luis Enrique looks likely to be the next Paris Saint-Germain head coach – have a read through Bryant’s analysis of Enrique’s tactics with Spain to see what can be expected of PSG next season.

Following on from yesterday’s article on finding Sergio Busquets’ natural successor playing in Argentina, Adam and Bryant jumped into the podcast studio and spent an hour discussing Federico Redondo further.

Nobody will disagree that Tottenham’s season was disappointing but one small bright spark was their excellence from set pieces, the finger of credit pointing in the direction of GIOVANNI VIO – Karim ES analyses their approach.

Whilst many people spend time scratching their heads at Barcelona’s transfer policy whilst still appearing to be completely broken financially, some of their clever work is slipping under the radar like their move for Mikayil Faye – being snapped up out of the bottom end of the Croatian second division. Jack Manship scouts the player who could be the Catalan’s defensive future.

This week sees the start of the UEFA U21 Championships and we have a full tactical preview magazine of the tournament for you – every single team and how they play, plus their key players explained in detail.

And last week, we published our TFA Scouted Magazine – picking out 21 under-the-radar talents who impressed us in the U20 WC, so those players who might have been missed otherwise.

Ona Batlle has left Manchester United and will be a Barcelona player as of next season – read David Astill’s scout report to see why La Blaugrana are getting an excellent defender.

Jean-Clair Todibo is being scouted by a number of top clubs and could leave Nice this summer – Lorihanna Balabanova has a scout report of the defender, showing why he could be a top centre-back in the near future.

That’s it for today – we are back at the same time tomorrow. Spread the word!
