Andoni Iraola is in line to become Liverpool’s replacement for Arne Slot. Slot was deposed as head coach after two years on Saturday following a season review by the Anfield hierarchy into the club’s failed Premier League title defence.

The search for the Dutchman’s successor has already commenced with Iraola already emerging as the firm favourite to take the reins on Merseyside. He also worked with current left-back Milos Kerkez which led to the Hungary international’s £40 million switch from the Vitality Stadium last summer.

Iraola has been heavily sought since announcing his decision to leave the South Coast last month with a host of clubs pursuing the now free agent coach. Chelsea and Manchester United were also heavily touted with a move for Iraola before appointing ex-Liverpool hero Xabi Alonso and Michael Carrick respectively.
