Liverpool’s hierarchy are said to be quietly exploring alternative managerial options as doubts continue to swirl around Arne Slot’s future at Anfield. Among the names gaining serious traction is Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, a coach whose reputation has skyrocketed since his arrival in the Premier League.
Iraola has turned Bournemouth into one of the division’s most energetic and tactically sharp sides, earning admiration for his ability to deliver eye-catching football even after losing key players to bigger clubs. His work has already caught the attention of several top teams, with Manchester United and Chelsea both previously linked with the Spaniard.
Former Cherries midfielder Jamie Redknapp has openly praised Iraola’s impact, describing him as “incredible” and tipping him for a major job sooner rather than later.
Liverpool Monitoring Iraola’s Situation
Fresh reports suggest Liverpool’s board is increasingly concerned about the team’s collapse in form — a run that includes nine defeats in their last twelve matches. According to the latest whispers, the club is now weighing up potential successors, with Iraola emerging as a realistic and intriguing choice.
Other names mentioned include a sensational — though unlikely — return for Jürgen Klopp, as well as a bold move for Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou. However, Klopp has repeatedly dismissed the idea of returning to management anytime soon, making Iraola a far more achievable target.
What Happens Next?
With Liverpool set to face West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday, Slot’s position appears more fragile than ever. Failure to secure a win could intensify calls for a change in the dugout — and Iraola may just be the man waiting in the wings.
