Report names Slot replacement who is already well known to an influential club figure

Liverpool invested in top-quality attackers during the summer of 2025, but Slot never really managed to get the best out of them. Iraola could be the man to unlock their true potential. The Cherries finished sixth in the table, just three points adrift of Liverpool this season.

He worked wonders at the South Coast club with limited resources, and he will get significant backing at Liverpool. It remains to be seen whether he can help them bounce back strongly and win a major trophy next season.

That said, his lack of experience managing an elite club and the lack of UEFA Champions League experience could be a concern.
