Liverpool manager Arne Slot is under a lot of pressure after a disappointing run of form in the Premier League this season.
Arne Slot was expected to guide Liverpool to another title at the start of the season. The defending champions spent £446 million on new signings, and they were expected to defend their Premier League crown. However, things have not gone according to plan for them, and they are slowly drifting towards the mid-table positions, thus compelling Liverpool to scour the market for a replacement.
Naturally, there has been speculation about the manager’s future. According to a report from Football Insider, Liverpool hierarchy remains patient with the Dutch tactician, but they could pull the trigger if Liverpool fails to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League this season. Missing out on the Champions League would be devastating for Liverpool financially, and Slot is unlikely to survive the sack.
There is no doubt that Liverpool have quality players at their disposal, but Slot has not been able to get the best out of them. Perhaps a managerial change would be ideal for Liverpool. They have been linked with Xabi Alonso in recent weeks. The Spanish tactician is currently unemployed after leaving Real Madrid, and he could be an excellent acquisition.
Liverpool should part ways with Arne Slot
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool are prepared to persist with the Slot until the end of the season. It is clear that the Dutchman is losing the fans’ faith, and he has failed to get his team in order. If Liverpool makes a mid-season change, it could still help salvage the season and secure a place in the Champions League next season.
However, waiting until the summer would be a major risk, and a missed top-four finish would be a massive financial blow. Liverpool have spent heavily on transfers, and they need to balance the books.
Losing out on a spot in the UEFA Champions League could prove to be a massive setback for their revenue. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds. Slot will be desperate to hold onto his job at Liverpool, and it remains to be seen whether he can turn things around.
