Andoni Iraola has been named the new head coach of Liverpool.
Iraola will take over for Arne Slot, who was fired a year after winning the Premier League, after he signs a two-year contract with Anfield.
Sporting director Richard Hughes, who hired Iraola at Bournemouth in 2023 before moving to Anfield the following year, was in charge of the process.
“I’m really excited, really excited,” Iraola told the club’s website.
“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.”
Congratulations to Andoni Iraola on his appointment as Liverpool’s new head coach. Wishing him great success in leading the team to new heights and achieving incredible results. Fans and players alike look forward to seeing his vision and leadership on the pitch.
