Iraola set to replace Slot at Liverpool

Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement with Andoni Iraola, with the outgoing Bournemouth manager poised to succeed Arne Slot at Anfield. Despite winning the Premier League title in his debut season, Slot could not survive a disappointing second campaign marked by early exits, inconsistency and a lack of trophies. After weeks of internal debate, the club dismissed the Dutchman over the weekend. Iraola’s name surfaced immediately, fitting the profile of a coach available at season’s end and coming off an impressive sixth‑place finish with Bournemouth.

Transfer insiders claim terms are already agreed, with an announcement expected soon. His arrival coincides with major changes in the squad, including the confirmed departure of Mohamed Salah and the likely exit of other key players. The Basque coach will inherit both resources and pressure as Liverpool attempt to rebuild. Whether he can guide them back to the top remains an open question heading into a pivotal summer.
