The 42-year-old Spaniard becomes the 23rd permanent manager in Liverpool\u2019s history, and only the second from his nation after Rafael Ben\u00edtez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slot was appointed following J\u00fcrgen Klopp\u2019s resignation and delivered Liverpool\u2019s second Premier League title in his first campaign (2024\u201125).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That achievement placed him among an elite group of managers, Jos\u00e9 Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Antonio Conte and Manuel Pellegrini, who won England\u2019s top flight in their debut season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the club\u2019s title defence unravelled dramatically. Despite a \u00a3450m spending spree that brought in Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, Liverpool slumped to fifth place. They secured Champions League qualification only on the final day, finishing just three points ahead of Iraola\u2019s Bournemouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their final tally of 60 points was the lowest by any Premier League team to finish fifth or higher since Tottenham in 2006\u201107 (also fifth with 60). Moreover, their 24\u2011point drop from the previous season was the largest by any ever\u2011present top\u2011flight side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iraola arrives at Anfield with a soaring reputation. Appointed in 2023 to replace Gary O\u2019Neil, he became the first manager to lead Bournemouth to European qualification in their 127\u2011year history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across three seasons, the Cherries finished 12th (2023\u201124), ninth (2024\u201125) and sixth (2025\u201126), breaking their Premier League points record each time, 48, 56 and finally 57 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iraola inherits a squad in flux. Club legends Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson have departed, while Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 has also announced his exit. Liverpool are expected to sign a new centre\u2011back to partner captain Virgil van Dijk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xabi Alonso had long been tipped as Slot\u2019s successor, but the former Liverpool midfielder removed himself from contention by agreeing to take charge of Chelsea from July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to the club\u2019s website, Iraola said: \u201cReally excited, really excited. You know that it\u2019s a big club, a massive club, one of the biggest in the world. But feeling inside and understanding a little bit more of this club, I always thought it\u2019s a special club. You don\u2019t need a lot of things to get attracted by Liverpool. Liverpool is Liverpool. The atmosphere, the supporters, the players, the chance to coach top\u2011level players, the chance to fight for titles, it cannot be more attractive than this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
