Andoni Iraola has officially joined Liverpool, completing his move shortly after the club parted ways with Arne Slot. The Spanish side confirmed the appointment today, marking the beginning of a new chapter at Anfield.
Speaking to the media, Iraola expressed genuine excitement and admiration for the club, emphasising the unique pull Liverpool has always had for him.
In his words:
I am really excited, really excited. Because obviously you know about Liverpool, you know that it’s a big club, a massive club, one of the biggest in the world.
But feeling inside and understanding a little bit more of this club, I always thought it’s a special club. You don’t need a lot of things to get attracted by Liverpool. Liverpool is Liverpool.
But obviously the atmosphere, the supporters, the club, the players, the chance for me to coach top‑level players, the chance to fight for titles. I think it cannot be more attractive than this. It’s difficult to find it. So, really excited to start.
Softfootball, gathered Iraola has signed a two‑year contract, officially running until June 2028, with Liverpool confirming the agreement earlier today. The relatively short duration aligns with Iraola’s personal managerial philosophy, he prefers short‑term commitments that allow him to continuously earn his position while ensuring both parties remain satisfied.
