Milos Kerkez discusses his pre-season at Liverpool, clears a marriage rumor, and explains how Andoni Iraola’s high-intensity, attacking full-back approach should suit him. He asserts his role as the club’s first-choice left-back after Andy Robertson’s departure, praises Iraola’s professionalism and coaching style, and highlights his work ethic and grounded mindset shaped by his Serbian upbringing and family support.
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.
Liverpool’s new head coach Andoni Iraola reflects on turning down a 2013 offer to join the club as a player, his philosophy of prioritizing the team and developing players from the academy, and his aim to build a tough-to-beat side that plays with front-foot energy while managing expectations and proving himself beyond the bold early promises.

Liverpool are to hold formal talks with Andoni Iraola as a potential new head coach, with fans split over the risk and fit—some praising a Klopp-like style, others questioning the lack of trophy-winning pedigree; Luis Enrique is floated as an alternative if negotiations stall, and sporting director Richard Hughes faces pressure to seal the right appointment.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk posted a message thanking Arne Slot after Slot’s sudden dismissal, nodding to Liverpool’s Premier League title but acknowledging the season’s shortcomings; teammates Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson also publicly questioned the club’s standards, signaling mixed feelings among current and former players about Slot’s tenure.
Liverpool confirmed Arne Slot will depart as head coach with immediate effect after an end-of-season review, with Andoni Iraola emerging as the leading candidate to replace him. Slot leaves after delivering a Premier League title but a disappointing second season, while Iraola—who steered Bournemouth to European qualification—is seen as a fit to revive Liverpool’s attacking, high-pressing style. The club praised Slot's leadership and said a different approach is needed to move forward, and the move would reunite Iraola with sporting director Richard Hughes.
