Andoni Iraola signs two-year deal to manage Liverpool

Liverpool appointed Andoni Iraola as manager on a two-year contract. The announcement came via the club’s official channels.

Iraola’s appointment follows the departure of Jürgen Klopp after six years in charge. Liverpool confirmed the duration of the contract in their statement.

The new manager brings Bundesliga experience from his time at Union Berlin. Iraola led Union Berlin to a 10th-place finish in the 2022-23 Bundesliga season.

Liverpool’s decision to offer a two-year contract contrasts with recent managerial appointments. Pep Guardiola signed a three-year extension at Manchester City in 2022.

Iraola replaces a long-serving manager, replacing Klopp who won the Premier League and Champions League during his tenure. The club has not disclosed further terms of the agreement.

The two-year deal signals a short-term project for Liverpool. The club will assess progress within this timeframe ahead of future decisions.
