Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has weighed on the debate of whether or not his former club can challenge for the Premier League title in Andoni Iraola’s first season at the club. FSG sacked Arne Slot at the end of the 2025-26 season and moved quickly to appoint Iraola as his successor, with Liverpool already adding £96.4m worth of talent to bolster his arrival.

Jamie Carragher says it shouldn’t take long for Andoni Iraola to get Liverpool back to challenging for silverware Speaking to Sky Sports, Carragher says football has changed from his time in the game to now, where incoming head coaches can turn situations around very quickly like Arne Slot did in his first season. “Liverpool finished fifth last season, nowhere near good enough.

“So, I’m not expecting Liverpool to win the league next season, but we are Liverpool, we’re going to spend big in the summer, we’ve got a lot of great players and yeah, we’re gonna challenge.” It will be very impressive if Iraola can mimic Slot by winning the Premier League title in his debut season, but most fans would settle for seeing the club’s identity of playing high enery attacking football restored.
