Liverpool have appointed Andoni Iraola as manager, turning to the former Bournemouth coach whose intense and heavy-pressing playing approach resembles the ideology that brought the club so much success under former Anfield favourite Jurgen Klopp.
The 43-year-old replaces Dutchman Arne Slot, who led Liverpool to the EPL title in his debut campaign but was sacked after failing to live up to expectations in his second season.
"You don't need a lot of things to get attracted by Liverpool. Liverpool is Liverpool," Iraola, who is reported to have signed a two-year contract, said in a statement.
