One point from the last three Premier League games. When the opponents are Wolverhampton, Tottenham and Brighton, this marks a new low this season for Liverpool supporters. Since last autumn, Arne Slot has been on the betting industry’s most-likely-to-get-fired list. In January, Xabi Alonso was done with Real Madrid, the game of who will lead Liverpool next season was kicked off.
Liverpool legend and football talker, Jamie Carragher, stated earlier this year that it is completely absurd to talk about Arne Slot having to be sacked as Liverpool manager, six months after the Premier League title. Nevertheless, Carragher has joined the chorus that points to the exit door for Slot, if Liverpool do not get a new Champions League ticket for the coming season. In the shadows, Xabi Alonso awaits. This is the start of the last part of the season – now it is reported that Liverpool have made their choice about Slot.
Liverpool supporters are divided in their perception of and support for Arne Slot. The last three Premier League games have ended with a total of one poor point against opponents Wolverhampton, Tottenham and Brighton, but in the Champions League, the Reds thundered over Galatasaray at Anfield to progress to the Champions League. According to German Bild, which continues to follow the former Bayer Leverkusen success coach closely, Xabi Alonso is ready to be called in as Liverpool coach from this summer, but now it is reported that this call-up will not take place.
The English journalist David Ornstein usually has a good overview of what is going on in the back room of the Premier League clubs, he has picked up signals that do not open up for Alonso.
“All our information, despite reports to the contrary, is that Liverpool are sticking with Arne Slot. There is no thought of changing coaches. They plan with him, and their priority is to give him the squad to succeed,” Ornstein says on The Athletic FC podcast.
