Liverpool are closing in on the appointment of Andoni Iraola as their new head coach after reaching a verbal agreement with the Bournemouth boss.
Liverpool Football Club is nearing the appointment of Arne Slot as the team's new head coach. The club has reached a verbal agreement with the former Bournemouth manager, with a formal announcement expected soon. Discussions are progressing as Liverpool prepares to bring Slot to Anfield. Slot is expected to bring several trusted members of his backroom team with him, and has identified Pablo de la Torre, Tommy Alphic, Sean Cooper, and Tom Webber as his preferred candidates to join the club's coaching staff.
The move to bring in the Spaniard has been driven by sporting director Richard Hughes, who originally recruited Slot during his time at Bournemouth in 2023. Hughes's confidence in the manager was bolstered by his performance on the south coast, and he has played a central role in identifying Slot as the preferred successor to the outgoing Arne Slot.
