Liverpool in talks with Iraola for head coach role

Liverpool have opened formal talks with Andoni Iraola to become their new head coach, replacing Arne Slot who was sacked after his second season.

The Spanish manager is the clear frontrunner for the Anfield vacancy, with his style of play fitting Liverpool's criteria for a more front-footed, aggressive approach that they felt was lacking in Slot's second season in charge.

Liverpool are keen to complete the appointment before the World Cup begins, as they look to move forward under a new manager who can bring the attacking philosophy they desire. sports24.club
