Still quite late in the month as the new coach won’t see his player until mid July. Might make the rumours of Enrique true but more likely Iraola albeit the latter doesn’t have his family living In England.

Who would you want as the new manager?

This shows how much can change in the space of a year. Who would have predicted this a year ago?

That's very a Chelsea under Abramovich-esque decision! He was a victim of his own success given his first season, anything less than another title would suddenly be considered a failure. Thought FSG would stick by him too.

Could be a good decision but not sure Iraola is the answer.

It's not even really that. Obviously there were some unique circumstances in the summer, but Slot just got found out tactically against a whole host of managers and couldn't get enough out of the players. None of our players are bad, but Slot couldn't find the balance and obviously when he did he made some poor decisions man management style too. He somehow made us even worse after we got knocked out of the Champions League too.

Probably Iraola at this point or Luis Enrique

Honestly don't know what took them so long to do it.

And i'm even more shocked they didn't act quicker to go for Alonso before he went to Chelsea.

Feel like it's a massive step for Iraola if that's the path they are taking...

I'm not sure the higher ups were ever that into Alonso. Plus, if you get Alonson you also lose a massive piece of power internally. I'd have definitely taken him, but I also think this move is a pivot back to a different style of football. Alonso is even more possession based, whereas we need a manager who plays a more aggressice style of tooball, rotates and trusts youth. Which is somerhing Slot lacked. I also think that we weren;t necessarily going to sack Slot or there was some internal disagreement. I think Iraola will get the job, but it also wouldn't surprise me if they acted as they thought Luis Enrique was gettable.

Liverpool have appointed Andoni Iraola as their head coach on a two-year contract following the sacking of Arne Slot.

The Reds announced Slot's exit on Saturday, a year after the Dutchman guided them to the Premier League title.

Former Bournemouth manager Iraola, 43, joins after delivering the Cherries' finest top-flight season to date, finishing in sixth place.

Well it is a minor step up at least for him, just the one place in the league :D

Excited to get going now! Not expecting us to be challenging for the title this season, but I'd like a good cup run and signs of progress and most importantly, enjoying the football games again. Feel like we have a lot of business to do in the summer and we've got 3 players coming off the back of massive injuries, with at least two of them being first team starters for us. Have to temper expectations, but think Iraola was the best choice.

Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha is not for sale.

According to Sky Germany, Bayern Munich have been exploring a summer move for teenage winger Ngumoha. Strengthening their attack this summer is one of the priorities for the Bundesliga champions.

Liverpool have made contact with RB Leipzig over the potential signing of winger Yan Diomande.

Sky Sports News understands that no offer has been made, but the club have made their interest known.

It is previously been reported that the Ivory Coast international is being considered as an option by other clubs in England, including both Manchester Clubs.

Would love him to come to Liverpool

Liverpool have triggered the release clause for Osasuna's Victor Munoz.

The Reds have effectively hijacked Newcastle's attempts to sign the Spain winger.

With an agreement reached between Liverpool and Osasuna, the next step is for Munoz to undergo a medical.

Munoz is part of Spain's squad at the World Cup. Reports say he will undergo a medical in the USA and join for a fee of £34.6m.

Liverpool are willing to put forward a package of £80m for RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande, report The Athletic.

That’s been refused, they want 120m!

120m that's madness.

RB Leipzig would be open to selling Yan Diomande for an estimated £112m [€130m], Sky Sports News understands.

Liverpool are among a number of clubs interested in the Ivory Coast winger, and have indicated they are prepared to pay up to £86m.

However, it is understood that the German club would want significantly more for Diomande, as they try to keep the teenager for another season

Liverpool have rejected a verbal offer of 25m euros (£21.7m) from Inter Milan for Curtis Jones.

The offer is well short of the £35m which Liverpool value Jones at and they are unwilling to sanction a cut-price exit for the midfielder.

Jones, 25, only has one year left on his current deal at Anfield and this is the second time Inter have come in for him this year.

Liverpool target Yan Diomande would prefer to join Paris St-Germain, as the French club aim to agree a deal with RB Leipzig in the coming weeks.

The Reds had an initial bid of £69m, plus £17m in add-ons, rejected this month for the 19-year-old Ivory Coast winger.

Leipzig are expected to demand about £129m for Diomande, who joined from Spanish club Leganes last summer on a five-year deal.

The club insist they are under under no financial pressure to sell, and are prepared to offer Diomande an improved contract to keep him for at least another season

Liverpool have completed the signing of defender Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes in a deal worth £60m.
