Andoni Iraola expected to boost Milos Kerkez's performance at Liverpool
Summary

Liverpool is in the midst of a managerial change, with Andoni Iraola likely to replace Arne Slot, who was relieved of his duties following a disappointing campaign. With Liverpool expected to sign five new players, Iraola's history with player development could particularly benefit Milos Kerkez, who struggled to adapt to Slot's tactics. Kerkez, acquired for £45 million, had a lackluster season with only four goal contributions this year. Under Iraola at Bournemouth, Kerkez thrived, producing ten goal contributions in the 2024-25 season, and could regain his form in the new setup.
