From the sack in Cyprus to Liverpool: Iraola's first job explained

Not every successful career starts spectacularly well but Andoni Iraola's journey to Liverpool will take some beating. Seven years ago, he was sacked from his first job in management after a winless streak in the Cypriot top division with AEK Larnaca.

Iraola learned from the experience and rebuilt his career back in Spain with Mirandes before really impressing with Rayo Vallecano and Bournemouth to earn his opportunity at Anfield. Nevertheless, it must be curious for his old colleagues to witness the rise.
