Muhammad Zaki 31 de mai. de 2026 13:15+03:00 Traduzido por Steven Gerrard, lenda do Liverpool, se pronunciou sobre os rumores de que Andoni Iraola, técnico do Bournemouth, poderia assumir o comando em Anfield. Gerrard sugeriu que Iraola possui a “identidade tática perfeita” para o clube, mas alertou que ele não é o único nome em jogo e enfrentará forte concorrência por um dos cargos mais importantes do futebol mundial, após a demissão de Arne Slot. Steven Gerrard, a Liverpool legend, has publicly supported Andoni Iraola as a top candidate for the managerial position at Anfield. In an interview with TNT Sports, Gerrard praised Iraola’s “fabulous job” at Bournemouth, suggesting his style “would fit Liverpool.”
However, Gerrard also acknowledged that the Liverpool manager role is highly attractive and will draw interest from many elite coaches worldwide. He noted that Iraola is well-known to Liverpool’s board members due to their previous connections with Bournemouth.
(The second part of the article, titled “The ‘right time’ for Slot’s departure,” is incomplete in the provided text.) Here’s the English translation of the provided text:
“Having added a Premier League trophy to their collection, Liverpool’s disastrous second season saw the Reds finish in fifth place. Gerrard admitted that, although the news was shocking, the club’s decision was justified by the team’s regression. “In the last 10 games of last season and for most of this season, we haven’t looked like Liverpool. The style has been difficult to watch at times. It looks disjointed, it looks unstructured, and when I received the news today, of course the initial reaction is one of surprise and shock, but when you analyze the situation properly, it’s probably the right time, in my opinion.”
Despite his candid assessment of recent performances, Gerrard insisted that the manager’s previous successes should be valued. He noted that Slot did an incredible job in his first year and will be “remembered forever” for his role in the club’s 20th league title. However, a chaotic season, in which the club suffered 19 defeats, ultimately proved to be the final straw for the FSG board.”
