Top players, title fights – why Iraola feels ready for LiverpoolImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Andoni Iraola won seven caps for Spain in a playing career spent mainly at Athletic ClubByTom Rostance, BBC Sport journalist and Mandeep Sanghera, BBC Sport journalistPublished2 hours agoLiverpool have appointed Andoni Iraola as their head coach on a two-year contract following the sacking of Arne Slot.The Reds announced Slot's exit on Saturday, a year after the Dutchman guided them to the Premier League title, and have moved swiftly to bring in a successor.Former Bournemouth manager Iraola, 43, joins after delivering the Cherries' finest top-flight season to date, finishing in sixth place.That was only one position and three points behind Liverpool and gave Bournemouth a place in next season's Europa League.The Spaniard announced in April that he would leave Bournemouth this summer and he had been linked with Crystal Palace and AC Milan.Now he moves to Merseyside, with Liverpool having qualified for next season's Champions League despite finishing the Premier League season with 60 points – their lowest tally since 2015-16 and a distant 25 points behind winners Arsenal."Really excited, really excited," said Iraola.
"Because obviously you know about Liverpool, you know that it's a big club, a massive club, one of the biggest in the world."You don't need a lot of things to get attracted by Liverpool.
Liverpool is Liverpool."He added: "I think Liverpool gives me the chance to coach top players, and top players give you the chance to fight for titles.
