Iraola Jets in to Liverpool to Finalise Anfield Deal
The Spaniard is expected to bring a more aggressive style after Liverpool finished 25 points behind Arsenal.
- On Thursday, Andoni Iraola arrived in Liverpool to finalize his head coach appointment, traveling from San Sebastian to John Lennon Airport before heading to the AXA Training Centre.
- Liverpool sacked Arne Slot last Saturday following a struggling Premier League title defense, as the club seeks to restore the aggressive, front-foot style lost during Slot's second season.
- Sporting Director Richard Hughes led swift negotiations, having previously appointed Iraola at Bournemouth three years ago, where he guided the Cherries to sixth place and maiden European qualification.
- Iraola is expected to sign a two-year contract with full authority over backroom staff, though former players Thiago Alcantara and James Milner have been linked to coaching roles.
- The club aims to return to "heavy metal" football championed by Jurgen Klopp, as Iraola's attacking tactics are expected to deliver the urgent, aggressive style lost last season.
