Andoni Iraola was officially appointed as Liverpool's new head coach yesterday. The Merseyside club acted swiftly, finding a successor just days after Arne Slot's dismissal. However, the pre-season preparations were planned long before Iraola's arrival.
The Spaniard will make his unofficial debut on July 25th. On that date, the Reds will face Sunderland in a friendly match held in Nashville, Tennessee, as part of the team's American tour. The tour continues with a game against Wrexham in New York four days later, and on August 2nd, Liverpool will play Leeds in Chicago.
Iraola's Anfield debut is scheduled for August 9th against Monaco. Liverpool's final pre-season friendly before the start of the season will be against Como on August 16th, also at Anfield. The new Reds' manager will learn the Premier League fixture list for the upcoming season on June 19th, when it is released.
