Liverpool Set for Iraola Talks as Quick Deal for Slot Replacement Takes Shape
Andoni Iraola has emerged as Liverpool’s preferred target after guiding Bournemouth to Europe for the first time in the club’s history.
- Following Arne Slot's sacking on Saturday, Liverpool are initiating formal talks with Andoni Iraola to replace the Dutchman before the World Cup begins on June 11.
- Fenway Sports Group dismissed Slot after a difficult campaign that included 20 losses, despite him securing the club's 20th league title in two seasons.
- Liverpool Sporting Director Richard Hughes appointed Iraola at Bournemouth three years ago, and under the Spaniard, the Cherries qualified for Europe for the first time in their history.
- Sources suggest Iraola's $13.4m yearly salary demand will not be an issue at Anfield, and the 43-year-old has emerged as the preferred target despite Liverpool insisting they are not focused on a single candidate.
- Stuttgart's Sebastian Hoeness and Lens's Pierre Sage also feature on the club's shortlist, as executives aim to make an appointment quickly to allow the new manager sufficient time to assess the squad before next season.
