🗣️ Andoni Iraola: “I am really excited, really excited. Because obviously you know about Liverpool, you know that it’s a big club, a massive club, one of the biggest in the world.

“But feeling inside and understanding a little bit more of this club, I always thought it’s a special club. You don’t need a lot of things to get attracted by Liverpool. Liverpool is Liverpool.

“But obviously the atmosphere, the supporters, the club, the players, the chance for me to coach top-level players, the chance to fight for titles. I think it cannot be more attractive than this. It’s difficult to find it. So, really excited to start!”

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

🗣️ Andoni Iraola on why he took the Liverpool job and his relationship with Richard Hughes.

"I identify with the football and the values of the squad, and we are all in for this year...

"It helps a lot that, on the other side of the table, there is someone you have worked with [in Richard Hughes]. We were one year together.

"But this case it's about Liverpool, that's what really attracted me. I am looking forward to getting all the information so I can better understand the club.

"We still have time, one month before we [start] work with the players, but I want to use this month to arrive in the proper way.

"I have been here three years in the Premier League and people have seen Bournemouth play.

"There are some things we need to change coaching Liverpool, but I wouldn't like to lose our identity: the intensity, the aggressiveness, the organisation. There are certain things that I would like to always have in my team, but you also have to adapt to the players you have...

"The fundamentals match quite well what has been Liverpool over the last few years, so I think we can make it work...

"Liverpool gives me the chance to coach top players, and top players give you the chance to fight for titles.

"When you arrive to a [new] place, you can't promise everything, but I understand where I am coming and what is expected. I am ready for the challenge."
