Milos Kerkez is looking to push on in his second season at Liverpool, with the arrival of Andoni Iraola offering the full-back a chance to shine once again after their previous stint working together.Milos Kerkez has discussed Andoni Iraola's appointment as Liverpool manager(Image: (Photo by Bill Barrett/ISI Photos/ISI Photos via Getty Images))Liverpool defender Milos Kerkez has revealed that he was "really happy" that Andoni Iraola was appointed as the club's head coach, while claiming that the Spaniard will be a "perfect fit" moving forward.The Hungarian defender is no stranger to the new manager, having played under him during a spell at Bournemouth, where his impressive performances ultimately landed him a switch to Anfield last summer.In the time since that move, Kerkez has struggled to make the left-back role secure, with some rash early performances leaving many wondering whether he was the right fit for previous boss Arne Slot.After rotating the position with Andy Robertson for most of the season, the Scotsman's exit now provides a chance for the 22-year-old to kick on, even with fresh competition from the return of Kostas Tsimikas.A change of style, one more geared towards his relentless intensity and attacking instincts, may end up helping Kerkez become the long-term full-back that Liverpool thought it had signed last summer.Having played under Iraola 74 times in his career, the defender knows more than the rest of the team exactly what to expect, giving some insight into his thoughts on the appointment during the summer break.On the hiring of Iraola, Kerkez told the media, via the Liverpool Echo: "I worked for him before, and he helped me and improved me a lot in the two years that I spent with him."I was really happy he got the job: obviously for myself but also for the team. Everyone knows what type of football he plays, so I think he is the perfect fit for us.“He’s all about intensity.

I think the other guys also like how he works.Andoni Iraola has kicked off pre-season with Liverpool(Image: Andrew J. Clark/ISI Photos, ISI Photos via Getty Images)“He’s very professional.

He likes to talk sometimes but not a lot. I think maybe he doesn’t want to get too close to some players and wants to show that everyone is the same in the team."He shows a lot of emotion on the sidelines, but in the locker room and in training, he’s pretty calm.”It's telling that Kerkez clearly believes that Iraola can get the best out of him, having already done so in his time at Bournemouth, which could help unlock the full quality of the defender after his move last summer.The description of his style will also be something that resonates with Liverpool fans, who will want to have someone who shows emotion and brings the intensity, but has the calm head to cut through the noise when necessary.How all of that plays out on the pitch remains to be seen, however, with the Premier League season now less than a month away.
