Andoni Iraola's unbeaten run was extended when Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 in the third round of the EFL Cup.

Renowned for his intense, high-energy football, Iraola oversaw a remarkable transformation at Bournemouth, taking the Cherries from the bottom half of the Premier League to European football within just three years.

Guiding the club to record-high top-flight points tallies in both the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons, his work on the south coast didn't go unnoticed and it was 20-time English champions Liverpool who seized the opportunity to hire the free agent following the expiration of his contract at the Vitality Stadium.

Iraola enjoyed an unbeaten end to his Bournemouth tenure and is yet to lose a game since succeeding Arne Slot on Merseyside.

When did Andoni Iraola last lose a game as manager?

Iraola's last defeat came when Bournemouth were knocked out of the FA Cup against Newcastle on 10th January 2026.

The two sides couldn't be separated inside inside 120 minutes -- playing out a 3-3 draw -- and Eddie Howe's Magpies won 7-6 on penalties.

You have to go back to 3rd January to find the last time that a team managed by Iraola lost in the league, with Arsenal defeating the Cherries 3-2 at the Vitality Stadium in gameweek 20 of the 2025/26 Premier League season.

Since Bournemouth exited the FA Cup at the hands of Newcastle, Iraola has enjoyed a 23-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

17 of the 23 games came whilst he was in charge at Bournemouth -- where they won seven times and drew on 10 occasions to close out the 2025/26 term -- and the run has continued with three wins and three draws since being appointed at Liverpool.
