Friday, June 5, 2026 - Liverpool Football Club have appointed Andoni Iraola as their new head coach.
Iraola has signed a two-year deal at Anfield and will
succeed Arne Slot, who was sacked just a year after winning the Premier League.
The 43-year-old arrives after three impressive campaigns in
the Premier League with AFC Bournemouth, leading them into Europe for the first
time in their history with a sixth-placed finish in the table last month.
“Really excited, really excited,” he told Liverpoolfc.com.
“Because obviously you know about Liverpool, you know that it’s a big club, a
massive club, one of the biggest in the world.
“But feeling inside and understanding a little bit more of
this club, I always thought it’s a special club.
“You don’t need a lot of things to get attracted by
Liverpool. Liverpool is Liverpool.
“But obviously the atmosphere, the supporters, the club, the
players, the chance for me to coach top-level players, the chance to fight for
titles. I think it cannot be more attractive than this. It’s difficult to find
it. So, really excited to start.”
Iraola is understood to be keen to bring Tommy Elphick and
Shaun Cooper, his assistants at Bournemouth, to Anfield as part of his coaching
staff.
