Liverpool open negotations with Iraola

Liverpool have reportedly opened talks with Spanish coach Andoni Iraola as the leading candidate to replace Arne Slot, who was dismissed over the weekend.

The 43-year-old tactician is coming off a remarkable spell at Bournemouth, guiding the club to a surprise sixth-place finish and its first-ever qualification for European competition. His attacking philosophy and high-intensity style are seen as a natural fit for Liverpool’s footballing identity.

Iraola, who previously coached Rayo Vallecano and Mirandés in Spain, has quickly emerged as the favorite to take charge at Anfield as the Reds look to launch a new chapter.
