Liverpool tipped to move for surprise manager
Although Alonso’s appointment seems almost inevitable to some, there are certainly other options available to the Reds.
Speaking to TEAMtalk, commentator Jim Proudfoot has now claimed that supporters shouldn’t write off the possibility of Liverpool appointing Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola to replace Slot.

Proudfoot insisted that he doesn’t have the inside track, but that he believes the club will likely continue to back Slot until the end of the season.
If the Reds do move on from the Dutchman, Iraola could be an option.
“Richard Hughes, Liverpool’s technical director, is a massive admirer [of Iraola]. Brought him in at Bournemouth, he’s done nothing at Bournemouth that would mean his stock has dropped in any way.”
Iraola is out of contract on the south coast in the summer, and Proudfoot wouldn’t be surprised if Liverpool show an interest in bringing him to Merseyside.
Since his arrival in the Premier League, the Spaniard has been repeatedly linked with a move to several sides competing in European competition and his good relationship with Richard Hughes could see him rise up Liverpool’s shortlist.
