A German top-flight club is after the services of Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who is under pressure to save his job at Anfield.
While Arne Slot enjoyed a sensational first season at Liverpool after taking over from Jurgen Klopp, the Dutch manager has failed to live up to the expectations this time around. As a result, his future has been up in the air for months.
According to a report from Dutch outlet Soccer News, a German club is now after the signature of the former Feyenoord boss. They have already enquired about the availability of the 47-year-old, who has been under fire to save his job at Anfield.
Arne Slot and his career so far
Arne Slot made quite a name for himself while managing Feyenoord. On the back of his impressive work at the Eredivisie club, Liverpool chose him to take Jurgen Klopp’s place on their bench, after the German tactician decided to take a break from management.
The Dutch manager was off to a flying start, and he ended up guiding them to the Premier League title in his debut season. On the back of that campaign, the board decided to back him in the last summer transfer window. The Reds ended up forking out a fortune (close to €500 million) to bolster their squad.
However, things have not really worked out for him this season. The Merseyside club have lost 15 out of their 47 matches, winning just 25 of those encounters. They are already out of the Premier League title race, and it has resulted in a lot of speculation about his future at the club.
Slot could part ways with Liverpool this summer
While the Merseyside outfit remain in the hunt for the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, winning those competitions won’t be easy for a side that has been inconsistent throughout. If Liverpool end the season without any silverware, the Dutch manager could be shown the exit door.
If the Reds do decide to move on from him, there certainly won’t be any shortage of takers. The report suggests there is tentative interest in his services from the Bundesliga. There is a club in the German top flight that are very eager to have him on their bench.
They have already made an approach for the Dutch manager. While the club is not yet known, it could be Bayern Munich if Vincent Kompany returns to Manchester City to take over from Pep Guardiola as has recently been speculated.
