00:01Liverpool are closing in on the appointment of Andoni Eriola as their new head coach after
00:09reaching a verbal agreement with the former Bournemouth boss.
00:15A formal announcement could be made very soon now as discussions progress with Eriola who
00:23is expected to bring several trusted members of his backroom team to Anfield. The Spaniard is keen
00:31for Pablo de la Torre, Tommy Alphic, Sean Cooper and Tom Webber to join him as part of Liverpool's
00:39coaching staff if he takes the role. The move has been driven by sporting director Richard Hughes
00:46who originally recruited Eriola during his time at Bournemouth in 2023. Hughes' belief in the
00:54former Rayo Valenzuela manager was rewarded with impressive progress on the south coast and he
01:02has now played a key role in identifying him as Liverpool's preferred successor following the
01:09dismissal of Arne Slott. It was reported on Sky Sports News that Eriola had emerged as the
01:18leading candidate with formal talks expected to begin very shortly.
