He’s one of the most appreciated managers in England right now, doing an incredible job at Bournemouth.

He’s going to leave the club. So let’s see what happens there.”Richard Hughes is the man who brought Iraola to the south coast during his time at Bournemouth, a link that could make any potential move to Liverpool more straightforward if the Reds decide to bring him to Anfield.After an impressive campaign, which included securing historic European qualification with Bournemouth, the 43-year-old’s stock has risen significantly.
