Andoni Iraola Agrees to Replace Arne Slot at Liverpool

Andoni Iraola has verbally agreed to become Liverpool head coach, succeeding Arne Slot. The appointment moves Iraola from his role at Bournemouth to Anfield. Iraola will join Liverpool ahead of the upcoming season. He will hear "You’ll Never Walk Alone" before every home match. The last Spanish manager appointed by Liverpool won the Champions League within a year. That manager was Rafa Benítez, who took charge in 2004. Iraola will inherit a stronger squad than Benítez did in 2004. The current squad was assembled by a manager whose style of play differs from Iraola’s. Liverpool expect Iraola to implement his own tactics after Slot's departure. Supporters anticipate his impact on the club's future.
