Andoni Iraola is expected to become Liverpool's new head coach on a two-year contract. A verbal agreement has reportedly been reached, with David Ornstein of The Athletic confirming the deal. This contract length is shorter than those signed by Arne Slot and Jurgen Klopp, who both initially agreed to three-year deals. Iraola's preference for short-term contracts is noted, as he has had a history of not remaining long at previous clubs. Liverpool supporters may have concerns regarding the brief duration, but a strong performance could lead to an extension.
