The Athletic FC Podcast · Where next for Iraola? · 27 May 2026 podcast

And some people are cut out for it and some people aren't. matched

And I think there's been a lot of good examples in recent years of very, very good managers saying, matched

who have had to become the public face for a huge institution, and it just hasn't worked out for them. matched

So, like, Roy Hodgson at Liverpool, David Moyes at Manchester United, Graham Potter at Chelsea. matched

You could even say Thomas Frank at Tottenham this season. matched

Now, I'm sure in all those cases, there were footballing issues as well. matched

There were footballing reasons why they weren't good, but... matched

I do think that there are some managers who just, I think, understand the expectations, understand the responsibility, understand what they have to say to get the fans to buy into them, to present a clear narrative to the public about what they're trying to achieve and to get the players to buy into them too. matched

And I'm not saying that Iriola can't do that, but I'm saying I would be curious to see how Iriola handles that element of the job, that element of managing a huge club, because it can be really hard. matched

As someone who watches mainly Premier League football, my honest answer to this is I'd be very curious to see him at Liverpool. matched

I think Liverpool is the most interesting, although clearly from everything we're reading and seeing and hearing, it sounds at the moment like their position is to stick with Arne Slott. matched

I don't want to get into arguing about whether or not Arne Slott is good or bad on this podcast, because that's been done elsewhere. matched

But I think that that is seemingly Liverpool hierarchy's position at the moment. matched

I would be fascinated to see Areola there. matched

But if that's not going to be the case... matched

I'm not really sure another move for him in England makes sense. matched

Bournemouth came sixth last year. matched

I know he's been linked with other Premier League teams. matched

He's been linked with Crystal Palace and Newcastle United. matched

But Bournemouth are better than those teams. matched
