Andoni Iraola is reportedly set to officially sign his Liverpool contract today, with the Reds now very close to announcing their new manager to replace Arne Slot.
Iraola has come to the end of his contract with Bournemouth, and it’s not surprising to see the Spanish tactician quickly snapped up by a bigger club after such impressive work on the South Coast.

It was a difficult 2025/26 campaign for Liverpool under Slot, with the club dropping to 5th in the Premier League table and failing to win any silverware.

Can Andoni Iraola make the step up to managing Liverpool?
Iraola did a hugely impressive job at Bournemouth and there was a lot of interest in him before Liverpool then accelerated their approach after deciding to part ways with Slot.
We were informed of Iraola being a top target for Chelsea and Manchester United, while there was also genuine interest from Crystal Palace in an ambitious move.
Still, a big move like LFC makes more sense for Iraola, and it will be interesting to see what kind of impact he can make at Anfield.
The 43-year-old is not walking into the easiest situation…
