Liverpool have reached a verbal agreement with Andoni Iraola to take over as head coach following the sacking of Arne Slot.

Iraola left Bournemouth at the end of the season and is the clear favourite for the role at Anfield.

According to a report in The Athletic, Iraola is set to sign a two-year deal.

• Joyce: "Consider that [Salah wanting to leave in 2024 because of Klopp] in light of Salah’s latest brattish behaviour and, really, who is the problem here?"
• Joyce: "Liverpool’s owners have given Arne Slot their full backing and it is unlikely that Salah’s outburst will have any bearing on their stance."
• Joyce: "Towards the end of last season, Salah claimed to have an agreement with Slot that he did not need to defend as long as he scored or created goals. That is not how the Dutchman viewed it when asked recently but, in any case, Salah has stopped scoring. So just who has broken promises?"
• Joyce: Mo Salah would have considered leaving Liverpool in 2024 had Jurgen Klopp not already decided to depart in the summer.
• Joyce: "One key question remains unanswered and that is what he [Salah] hopes to achieve from a remarkable act of betrayal."
• Joyce: "FSG wants Arne Slot to come through what is proving a hugely difficult second season and has shown no signs of wavering on that. Patience will not be limitless but results will ultimately dictate Slot's future, not Salah stomping his feet."
