Andoni Iraola is set to become Liverpool's new head coach, with a contract expected to be signed on Thursday. This appointment comes after a verbal agreement was reached with the Reds on Tuesday, and it's understood that Iraola wants his trusted coaching staff, including Pablo de la Torre, Tommy Elphick, Shaun Cooper, and Tom Webber, to join him at Anfield. The process was led by sporting director Richard Hughes, who previously appointed Iraola at Bournemouth before his move to Liverpool. After Liverpool's decision to sack Arne Slot, Iraola emerged as the front-runner, with formal talks expected to commence this week. The club's main objective has been to find a manager who aligns with their preferred playing style. Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher and Jamie Redknapp have shared their opinions on Iraola's potential at Liverpool. Carragher acknowledges Iraola's success at Bournemouth but questions his ability to win the league, citing the challenges of playing at high intensity every three days. Redknapp, on the other hand, praises Iraola's style of play and believes he can handle the pressure of managing Liverpool, highlighting his success in developing players at Bournemouth.
