Was also Leverkusen’s favorite

Liverpool FC has found its new coach after parting ways with Arne Slot. Andoni Iraola, who was also a favorite at Bayer Leverkusen, signed with the Reds. Last season, the Spaniard shaped AFC Bournemouth into a seemingly unbeatable team.
Iraola has had a record 18-game unbeaten run with Bournemouth since January. Only six other clubs in Premier League history have managed a longer streak without defeat. Iraola brought the Cherries into the Europa League. The AFC almost prevented Iraola’s new employer from a place in the Champions League. Instead, the former national player will compete in the premier class with the LFC. Iraola experienced his last Premier League defeat with Bournemouth on January 3rd against eventual champions Arsenal. During his term in office since the summer of 2023, the squad value of the then relegation candidate increased from 253 million to 566 million euros. Marco Rose will take over Iraola’s legacy on the English south coast.
