Liverpool appoints Andoni Iraola as manager amid Szoboszlai media row

Liverpool FC's summer preparations have been disrupted after the departure of Arne Slot. The club named former Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola as his successor, hoping his disciplined, high‑press style will restore the team's performance in the 2025/26 Premier League season.

Hungarian midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, who has been linked with the captaincy, addressed media speculation about an internal dispute, stating, "There was never any dispute between the three of us. The media exaggerated the issue and everything is now settled." His comments aim to calm rumors of tension within the squad as the new managerial era begins.
