Liverpool appoints Andoni Iraola as new manager after Arne Slot departs

Liverpool Football Club confirmed the departure of Dutch manager Arne Slot following a disappointing second season in which the team failed to qualify for the Champions League and recorded a record number of defeats. Slot issued an emotional farewell letter to the club and its supporters, reflecting on his tenure and the recent loss of teammate Diogo Jota.

The club announced that former Burnley boss Andoni Iraola will succeed Slot. Iraola guided Burnley to an unbeaten run in the Premier League since early January and previously led the side to European competition. His appointment is expected to restore stability and ambition at Anfield.
