English Premier League club Liverpool has reached a verbal agreement with Andoni Iraola to become their head coach. He is prepared to sign a two-year contract, with the official announcement expected later this week. The club dismissed former manager Jürgen Klopp last Saturday.
Andoni Iraola is close to taking over as Liverpool’s new head coach, replacing the recently sacked Klopp. The 43-year-old Spanish coach departed Premier League club AFC Bournemouth at the end of last season. According to reports, he is set to sign a two-year deal.
Iraola’s coaching career has involved working under short-term contracts. He has managed AEK Larnaca, CD Mirandés, Rayo Vallecano, and most recently Bournemouth, all under similar arrangements. Iraola also intends to bring his assistant coaches, Tommy Elphick and Shaun Cooper, to Anfield.
Liverpool aims to appoint a new head coach as soon as possible. The club has been seeking a manager whose style aligns with their aggressive, high-pressing approach. Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, who previously worked with Iraola during his time at Bournemouth, is leading the recruitment process.
