Liverpool 'Reach Verbal Agreement' with Iraola Who Wants Quartet of Cherries Staff

The former Bournemouth boss is expected to sign a two-year deal and wants four staff members to join him at Anfield, reports said.

  • On Tuesday, Liverpool reached a verbal agreement to appoint former Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola as their next head coach, with plans to finalize the appointment before the end of the week.
  • The Reds dismissed head coach Arne Slot on Saturday after finishing fifth in the Premier League, with the former Feyenoord boss recording the club's lowest points total since 2016.
  • Sporting director Richard Hughes is leading negotiations and aims to bring Tommy Elphick, Shaun Cooper, Tom Webber, and Pablo de la Torre to Anfield, reuniting them with the man who signed them at Bournemouth three years ago.
  • Coaches Sipke Hulshoff and Giovanni van Bronckhorst are expected to depart with Slot, though Bournemouth officials stated on Tuesday they have not been formally contacted regarding Liverpool's interest in other staff.
  • The appointment reunites Iraola with left-back Milos Kerkez, who joined the Reds from the Cherries last summer after Iraola guided Bournemouth to a record sixth-place finish and Europa League qualification.
