The 43-year-old will take up the helm at Anfield to succeed Arne Slot, who departed the Reds on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Iraola arrives after three impressive campaigns in the Premier League with AFC Bournemouth, leading them into Europe for the first time in their history with a sixth-placed finish in the table last month.<\/p>\n
\u201cReally excited, really excited,\u201d he told Liverpoolfc.com. \u201cBecause obviously you know about Liverpool, you know that it\u2019s a big club, a massive club, one of the biggest in the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut feeling inside and understanding a little bit more of this club, I always thought it\u2019s a special club.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need a lot of things to get attracted by Liverpool. Liverpool is Liverpool.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut obviously the atmosphere, the supporters, the club, the players, the chance for me to coach top-level players, the chance to fight for titles. I think it cannot be more attractive than this. It\u2019s difficult to find it. So, really excited to start.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 43-year-old will take up the helm at Anfield to succeed Arne Slot, who departed the Reds on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621347,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[607,608,49,596,603,598,609,611,610,134,602,601,597,606,50,599,604,600,51,47,52,48,605],"class_list":["post-621346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-alisson","tag-firmino","tag-headlines","tag-homepage","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-news","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-the-reds","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
