Andoni Iraola reaches verbal agreement to coach Liverpool

Sky Sports reports that Andoni Iraola has reached a verbal agreement to become Liverpool's head coach. The 43-year-old was linked with other clubs, including AC Milan, Crystal Palace, and Bayer Leverkusen, but seemed to prioritize the Liverpool position after leaving Bournemouth. Sky reporter Mark McAdam highlighted that Iraola's hesitance to engage with other clubs indicated his interest in the Liverpool role. His appointment is expected to be confirmed soon, as he takes over after Arne Slot’s sacking.
