Andoni Iraola was officially named Liverpool manager, with the signing of the contract tying him to the team for two years taking place just a few minutes ago. Iraola takes over after the departure of Arne Slot, who was fired after a season marked by a record number of defeats in national and international competitions. Despite winning a championship in the 2024/25 season, this was not enough to keep Slot in office. Now, the club, which has already won the UEFA Champions League on six occasions, begins a new phase under the leadership of one of the most promising coaches in international football, in a choice that reflects a clear strategy and not a mere bet.
