Liverpool hires Andoni Iraola, eyes squad overhaul for Hungarian stars Szoboszlai and Kerkez

Liverpool appointed Andoni Iraola as the club's new head coach after Arne Slot's departure, with a view to strengthening the squad for the 2024‑25 season. Iraola said he plans changes in five positions, focusing on the three Hungarian players on the roster. Dominik Szoboszlai is expected to leave his right‑back role, while Milos Kerkez will face new competition at left‑back after the exit of Andy Robertson. The coach also flagged a need for additional centre‑backs and a new striker.

Iraola told the players, "The squad is good, but there is still work to do," promising a fresh start and more support for the Hungarians.

Overall, the new manager aims to create a stronger atmosphere and improve the team's performance while retaining key talent such as Alisson and considering further transfers.
