Andoni Iraola's Liverpool in-tray: Get Alexander Isak firing, convince Alisson to stay and figure out what to do with Florian Wirtz
Andoni Iraola has been appointed as the new manager of Liverpool FC following a disappointing season under Arne Slot. The club faces significant challenges, including player retention and squad restructuring, as they look to rebuild their competitive standing.
Why it matters
Liverpool is a major global football brand, and a managerial change at such a high-profile club significantly impacts the Premier League landscape.
Liverpool have a new manager. Just over a year after Arne Slot led the Reds to a record-equalling 20th English championship, the Dutchman has been replaced in the dugout by Andoni Iraola. The change of coach has already lifted spirits around Anfield after a disastrous Premier League title defence that featured 12 defeats, while Liverpool were also hammered at home by Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, humiliated by Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals and swept aside by Paris Saint-Germain in the last eight of the Champions League.
