Formal talks with Iraola are expected to follow.
The Spaniard has been in negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen after appearing to cool talks with AC Milan earlier this week.
However, amidst those talks, Sky in Italy reported that Iroala was still open to the Liverpool job despite no vacancy being open at Anfield at the time.
Now it is – and Iroala has a strong relationship with Liverpool director of football Richard Hughes after their time together at Bournemouth.
Hughes convinced Bournemouth to hire Iraola from Rayo Vallacano in 2023. He has since done a remarkable job, putting Bournemouth in the Europa League via a sixth-place finish.
Iraola has also had Crystal Palace as an option but they have always expected him to join a bigger club – even after they won the Conference League.

Liverpool operating like your standard corporate business now, Hughes gonna promote his old mate with zero credentials
Please come back Egyptian king
Fridel what are you on about mate?
Let's go
all you SLOT IN fans, please leave LFC with him, we dont need backboneless fans
To sacked Slot at the day of Champion league final is the indication that Liverpool want everyone to remember Arne Slot has guided Liverpool to 2 consecutive losses to finalist PSG at knocked out stage during his stayed at Liverpool for 2 seasons.
The little Spanish men are in the thrall of an invasion of English football.😂😂😂😂
Who is that guy talking??? He is clueless!!! The reason we are not behind Slot is because we play nothing football!!! Plain, slow, boring football! We are nearly as bad as Arsenal…at least they win. We play utter rubish and we lose…Slot had to go, we had no option.
Now if we can get something for Gakpo. 👏🏼
Shame on you Liverpool a great scandal also the egytian guy his nam? salah disappointed comment now he is leaving coward and the Liverpool management very sad unbelievable shame to you.
I hope you will nod successfully succeed shameless board 😡
Iraola must be careful going to a big club. Alonso felt that at Madrid.
Oliver Glasner is perfect replacement
Good riddance
Humpty Dumpty sat on the Anfield bench,
Humpty Dumpty fell without a flinch;
All the board's men and all the club's backing,
Couldn't save Humpty from getting the sacking.
Thank u Arne for the title last season but this season was way below par. Liverpool upwards and onwards
I speak for many liverpool supporters. I wouldve preferred a lower finish but better football. I lost interest in watching the games live mid-way through the season. We completely lost our personality and failed to take on a new one on. Slot needed solutions by the end of the season which we didnt get so happy to see him go. Wish him all the best
New boss predicted to sign on lucky Christian weekend of 13/14 June & start work Mon 15th.
Arsenal doing what my Reds did in 2025. Bitter sweet times.
Next UCL final 2027 will be Reds LFC Vs Gunnerz & Prem Champz will be Liverpool or Arsenal.
Will Leoni & Isak be sold to fund a new spending spree? BBC graded Isak as a grade D signing.
Will Arsenal sell Gabriel for missing the big pen?
Look what happened to Jaden Sancho after he missed the Euro final pen?
It's tough & moving to a new club can be a fresh start.
V v glad to see England skipper Rice play so well & score his pen so well.
Adoni I & J Klopp & Enrique are all practicing Christians & one will sign for the Reds on about 13/6/26. Liverpool is owned by a christian family.
PSG are a Muslim club & will they make Mo Salah thier first muslim player-boss ?
What a season its been. All we need now, is a penalty shoot out between Argentina & England in the World Cup 2026 Final.
Think Liverpool is to much of big step up for Iraola hope am wrong but club should of stick with slot he was lot let dwn by signings the squad as a whole and salah using his status at club while on his way out to turn it untenable for slot seems like more managers come and go in premier league than players dwn now lol
He did that well he Reduced a Golden Boot winner to a total wreck in 6 months
Does this mean Chiesa might now get a Start.
NO NO NO… Don't bring in Andoni Iraola…. Bring an experience manager which got to Top 4 spots and Champion league at least semi final…. don't bring those manager who hasn't step into these and you expect them to bring Liverpool to be Champion… don't be stupid please!!!!
Perfect fit hight intensity look at what he did with Bournemouth
It's over for Europe
Hope Iraola can persuade Salah to stay.
He got lucky in the first season, but the football was crap.
Give it 2 months and Liverpool fans will be saying he's one of the best managers in the world
Hopefully Liverpool will be relegated next year. Go Cherries!!!!
he plays high octane football direct non stop running, his best players were taken from him and nearly nicked liverpool's champions league spot and he's just 46 years old, his style suits the premier league perfectly, slot came from the dutch league that was a bigger risk, from feyenoord to liverpool was a huge jump as well if from bournemouth to liverpool is. i was hoping he comes in i think he can take liverpool back to the very top with a few hard working off the ball players. liverpool lost their first line of defence in 3 of their attacking players non stop pressing upfront darwin nunez diogo jota and luis diaz south american blood they accept no defeat always available and replaced them with isak chiesa ekitike players who need to be fed and do not press without the ball which left the midfield and therefore also the defence exposed all season, no defending at all from the attacking players is why we leaked so many goals for starters coupled with lack of form but also the morale started to go down. with Iraola they re going to run their socks off, bring in a combative holding midfielder like adam wharton and someone who presses and runs more than dominic szbozlai such as kuupmeiners who is
at juventus, one more hard working defender and bring back harvey elliott on a free from villa huge mistake to loan him and this adds a lot of hard work off the ball for starters and one wide hard working midfielder/attacker who can play on both sides and can deliver precise balls to feed those lazy top notch quality finishers we have already and we take it from there and the following season add a couple more additions and we re back challenging for premier league and champions league but Iraola knows better than anyone else what is needed YNWA
Does Brad even watch football/soccer these days he seems so out of touch! 🙄
