Liverpool's search for a new manager remains a topic of speculation, with current boss Arne Slot's future under discussion. The club has been linked with several potential candidates as they consider their options for the upcoming season.
Among the names mentioned is Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola. The Athletic's David Ornstein reported in March 2026 that Iraola is attracting interest from top clubs after a successful season with the Cherries, though no formal approach from Liverpool has been confirmed.
Xabi Alonso, once considered a leading candidate, committed his long-term future to Bayer Leverkusen in 2025, taking him out of contention for the Liverpool job. The club's hierarchy is conducting a thorough process to identify the right individual to lead the team forward.
The situation remains fluid, with the final decision expected to be influenced by Liverpool's end-of-season review and the availability of their preferred targets. Further developments are anticipated in the coming weeks.
