‎Liverpool have appointed Andoni Iraola as their head coach on a two-year contract following the sacking of Arne Slot.

‎The Reds announced Slot’s exit on Saturday, a year after the Dutchman guided them to the Premier League title.

‎Former Bournemouth manager Iraola, 43, joins after delivering the Cherries’ finest top-flight season to date, finishing in sixth place.

‎That was only one position and three points behind Liverpool and gave Bournemouth a place in next season’s Europa League.

‎The Spaniard announced in April that he would leave Bournemouth this summer and he had been linked with Crystal Palace and AC Milan.

‎Now he moves to Merseyside, with Liverpool having qualified for next season’s Champions League despite finishing the Premier League season with 60 points – their lowest tally since 2015-16 and a distant 25 points behind winners Arsenal.

‎”Really excited, really excited,” said Iraola. “Because obviously you know about Liverpool, you know that it’s a big club, a massive club, one of the biggest in the world.

‎”You don’t need a lot of things to get attracted by Liverpool. Liverpool is Liverpool.”

‎He added: “I think Liverpool gives me the chance to coach top players, and top players give you the chance to fight for titles. To win titles.

‎”Obviously when you arrive at a place, you cannot promise everything. You cannot promise. But it’s true that I understand where I’m coming and what is expected.

‎”I’m ready for the challenge.”

‎Iraola is understood to be keen to bring Tommy Elphick and Shaun Cooper, his assistants at Bournemouth, to Anfield as part of his coaching staff.
