Liverpool have officially appointed Andoni Iraola as their new manager, ending weeks of speculation following the departure of Arne Slot.

The 43-year-old Spaniard arrives at Anfield on a two-year contract after an impressive spell with Bournemouth, where he guided the club to a historic Europa League qualification.

Iraola has built a reputation as one of Europe’s brightest young coaches, known for his high-intensity pressing style and attacking football.

Liverpool believe his tactical approach and ability to develop players make him the right choice to lead the club into a new era. Fans will hope Iraola can return Liverpool to title contention and bring success in England and Europe.

Liverpool confirmed the appointment on 4 June, with Iraola describing the opportunity to manage the club as an exciting challenge.
