Coaching change at "Liverpool": Andoni Iraola appointed as new head coach

English football club "Liverpool" has officially confirmed the appointment of Spanish specialist Andoni Iraola as head coach for the upcoming season. He replaces Arne Slot in this position.

In a statement published on the club's official "Twitter" page, it says: "We confirm that an agreement has been reached with Andoni Iraola to become the club's head coach for the 2026/2027 season."

43-year-old Andoni Iraola chose to move to "Liverpool" after three seasons at "Bournemouth." Although "Bournemouth" tried to retain the coach, Iraola decided not to extend his contract. His appointment is linked to his success last season, where he led "Bournemouth" to the highest positions in the club's history in the Premier League.

"Liverpool's" management dismissed Arne Slot on May 30. Slot, who succeeded Jürgen Klopp two years ago, managed to lead the team to the Premier League title in his first season. However, in his second season, despite significant financial investment in the squad, the expected results were not achieved, leading the club to the decision to change the coach.
