Andoni Iraola will hold his first press conference at the AXA Training Centre to mark the start of Liverpool’s pre-season and his reign as new head coach.
Iraola is set to conduct media duties for the first time at 11am on Monday, July 13 as pre-season training begins, per David Lynch on X.
The Spaniard will sit down in front of journalists at the AXA Training Centre to face questions, with the players now expected to begin testing and fitness work the following day.
Liverpool’s transfer plans, his views on the current squad, decisions on the next vice-captain and further additions to his backroom staff should all be on the agenda.

Iraola has brought assistants Tommy Elphick and Shaun Cooper, fitness coach Pablo de la Torre and analyst Tom Webber with him from Bournemouth.
Jeremy Jacquet‘s £60 million move from Rennes became official on July 1, with Spanish winger Victor Munoz the only other first-team signing as it stands.
That means it will be a mixed squad in the early weeks of pre-season, with Jacquet, Harvey Elliott, Stefan Bajcetic and James McConnell already training outdoors at the AXA having returned for preparatory work on Tuesday.
Who will report back first for Liverpool’s pre-season?
Position Players Reporting Back
Goalkeepers Giorgi Mamardashvili, Freddie Woodman, Armin Pecsi
Defenders Joe Gomez, Giovanni Leoni, Jeremy Jacquet, Milos Kerkez, Kostas Tsimikas, Jeremie Frimpong, Calvin Ramsay
Midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Trey Nyoni, Stefan Bajcetic, James McConnell
Forwards Federico Chiesa, Rio Ngumoha, Jayden Danns, Josh Abe
Giovanni Leoni, Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike are also at the training ground as they continue their rehabilitation from long-term injuries.
After Iraola’s opening press conference and the first week of pre-season proper, Liverpool are then set to fly to the United States for a three-stop tour.
They will play Sunderland in Nashville (July 25), Wrexham in New York (July 30) and Leeds in Chicago (August 2) before travelling back to Merseyside for an Anfield double-header to wrap up preparations for the new season.
Monaco will visit Anfield on August 9 before the final friendly of the summer against Como on August 16.
Iraola will have the majority of his squad available for the USA tour, with Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak expected to return after their exit from the World Cup.
Munoz and Alexis Mac Allister are the only Liverpool players still involved at the tournament, with Spain taking on Belgium in the quarter-finals on Friday evening and Argentina facing Switzerland on Sunday.
