THE CALL
Then Liverpool called — five weeks after Iraola said goodbye to the Vitality.
THE LAST MEETING
The last time Liverpool visited the Vitality, Iraola's Bournemouth beat them 3-2 with the last kick of the game. He celebrated on Bournemouth's side of the pitch.
THE RETURN
This Sunday, he stands in the away dugout — Bournemouth v Liverpool, kick-off 2PM BST.
