Liverpool are now reportedly in talks with Andoni Iraola over becoming their new head coach or manager, following the departure of Arne Slot. Slot was relieved of his duties at Anfield last weekend, with the Dutchman then sending a classy open letter to the supporters on Monday, saying in part: “You walk out under that famous sign in the Anfield tunnel, and you feel a mix of emotions.

To honour the legacy that, for 134 years, has made Liverpool FC one of the biggest clubs in world football. Lining the streets outside the stadium, filling Anfield in anticipation.” Iraola has emerged as the strong favourite to replace Slot at Liverpool, and writing on X, reliable journalist Ben Jacobs has only heightened those claims: “Talks between Andoni Iraola and Liverpool are already underway and are expected to move quickly.” A matter of when Andoni Iraola takes charge of Liverpool?

At this point, it would be a shock if Iraola wasn’t named Liverpool’s next manager, and the Spaniard would be a hugely exciting appointment, having excelled at Bournemouth. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
