Liverpool appoint Spaniard Iraola as new manager in place of Slot

Liverpool has appointed Andoni Iraola as their new manager after sacking Arne Slot following a calamitous Premier League title defense. The 43-year-old Spaniard signed a two-year deal after leading Bournemouth to a sixth-place finish and their first European qualification. He is expected to deliver a more urgent, aggressive style reminiscent of the Jurgen Klopp era. Prior to Bournemouth, he coached Rayo Vallecano, Mirandés, and AEK Larnaca.
