During his 12 seasons, Iraola never played fewer than 30 league matches, scoring in all but one league campaign – like former club legend Aitor Larrazábal, who played as a left-back{{cite web|url=http://bizkaia.eldesmarque.com/athletic-club/noticias/28243-iraola-es-el-defensa-mas-goleador-de-toda-la-liga|title=Iraola es el defensa más goleador de toda la Liga|trans-title=Iraola is the defender with the most goals in the entire League|publisher=El Desmarque|last=Moscoso|first=Álvaro|language=es|date=22 November 2011|access-date=2 June 2015}}– while also helping the Basque side to finish second in three Copa del Rey tournaments and the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League.

2012–13 marked the first year where Iraola failed to find the net in the league, but he continued to be the side's first-choice in his position as he featured in 35 games. His only goal of the season came on 24 August 2012 in a 6–0 home rout of HJK in the playoff round of the UEFA Europa League (9–3 on aggregate).{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/0200-0e7eccc08636-db90f84c6a7d-1000--bielsa-delighted-as-athletic-get-back-on-track/|title=Bielsa delighted as Athletic get back on track|publisher=UEFA|last=Bryan|first=Paul|date=24 August 2012|access-date=23 March 2025}}

Managerial style
Iraola favours a 4–3–3/4–2–3–1 formation with a focus on quick ball recoveries. With quick wingers, tireless midfield runners and a defensive midfielder who tends to drop deep when building from the back when the full-backs push forward, his main emphasis is on catching the opposition off guard.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com.sg/soccer/story/_/id/37625939/barcelona-xavi-six-top-young-coaches-watch-european-football|title=Barcelona's Xavi among six top young coaches to watch in European football|publisher=ESPN|last=Karlsen|first=Tor-Kristian|date=3 March 2022|access-date=1 April 2024}}
