Liverpool have sacked Arne Slot a year after winning the Premier League. The Dutch coach leaves Anfield with immediate effect after enduring a testing title defence. The season fizzled out and ultimately ended without any silverware despite a lavish outlay in last year’s transfer window.
Slot's Downfall
Slot was caught in the firing line when Mohamed Salah criticised the manager’s style of play before his own exit from Anfield was confirmed. Despite the Reds clinching Champions League qualification for the 2026/27 season, the club has opted to make a change now, two years after appointing Slot.
Next Manager
Andoni Iraola is now seen as the clear front-runner to take over at Anfield, after confirming his exit from Bournemouth having guided the Cherries to the Europa League. It is thought Liverpool have made the decision reluctantly, but made the difficult decision after assessing the campaign and concluding that a change would necessitate the essential evolution of the side.
