Iraola reveals quick talks with clubs before Liverpool job
Andoni Iraola said he was in talks with other clubs before taking over Liverpool, noting the club contacted him soon after the season ended and the decision happened quickly. He replaces Arne Slot after a stint at Bournemouth, and his arrival is tied to Liverpool’s attacking ambitions. Iraola also drew parallels between Liverpool and Athletic Club, emphasizing a Basque-influenced, team-first philosophy as he prepares for a US-friendly pre-season and a new era at Anfield.
