Iraola explains why his wife has changed stance on attending games

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has revealed that his wife, Itziar, has started attending more of his matches because their children are becoming increasingly interested in football. According to the Daily Mirror, Iraola previously said his wife rarely watched him manage from the stands, but his son and daughter have encouraged her to attend more often.

The Spaniard also highlighted the importance of his family, saying they have sacrificed significantly throughout his managerial career. Iraola is preparing for an emotional return to Bournemouth on Sunday, but insists Liverpool’s priority will be securing victory against his former club.
