Andoni Iraola cumple hoy 4??4?? años. ¡Feliz cumpleaños! ?#LALIGAEASPORTS pic.twitter.com/eDM1f3gYaV — LALIGA (@LaLiga) June 22, 2026 Two trusted journalists report on Liverpool’s transfer plans for the summer Speaking on the Born ‘n Red podcast, journalist David Lynch said that Liverpool’s transfer plans for the summer may just be getting underway, with plenty of work to be done to fully equip Iraola for the new season ahead. “[…] As things stand, if the Diomande deal gets done, it’s set to be the Ivory Coast international, Munoz, Ngumoha and Gakpo providing the creativity from the flanks in the coming campaign.” Liverpool are still in transition so Iraola will need grace in his first season When Slot won the Premier League title in his first season, it almost happened too soon.
The Dutchman was then held to the very high standard he set in his first year as Liverpool’s head coach. With Slot’s dismissal now old news, Iraola is likely beginning to understand the pressure that comes with managing a club as big as Liverpool.
With that in mind, it’s important to note that Iraola is not likely to mimic Slot with a title triumph in his opening season as head coach. That said, if he can restore the identity that Liverpool lost over the course of Slot’s time in charge, that will be a success of its own.
