Iraola left Bournemouth at the end of the season and is the clear favourite for the role at Anfield. Liverpool are keen to make an appointment at the earliest possible opportunity and want a manager who fits their preferred playing style, which is to deliver front-foot, aggressive football. No approaches have yet been made with regard to Iraola's potential coaching staff, but the 43-year-old Spaniard is keen on bringing his assistant at Bournemouth , Tommy Elphick, a lifelong Liverpool fan, with him. BBC Sport understands that Elphick has had no contact yet from the Reds but would be interested in the opportunity. The hiring process is being led by Richard Hughes, Liverpool 's sporting director, who previously worked with Iraola at the Cherries. The Reds sacked Slot on Saturday, just a year after the Dutchman guided them to the Premier League title.
