Liverpool gaffer Arne Slot who is on the verge of sacking
Speculation has intensified over the future of Arne Slot at Liverpool FC following reports from Germany claiming the Dutch coach is edging closer to dismissal.
The reports, attributed to BILD journalist Axel Hesse, allege that Liverpool have already identified Xabi Alonso as the leading candidate to replace Slot should the club opt for a managerial change.
Pressure on Slot has mounted after a disappointing run of results, including a weekend defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion which marked Liverpool’s tenth league loss of the season.
The poor form has dented Liverpool’s push for Champions League qualification, with dropped points leaving their top-four ambitions increasingly uncertain heading into the final stretch.
Despite the growing noise, there has been no official confirmation from Liverpool, and reports indicate the club has not made a final decision regarding Slot’s immediate future.
It is understood that any delay in action is partly influenced by the wider Premier League context, with rival clubs also slipping up, keeping Liverpool within reach of European qualification places.
Meanwhile, Alonso’s name continues to gain traction due to his impressive managerial trajectory and strong links to Anfield, where he remains a popular figure among supporters.
For now, Slot remains in charge, but with scrutiny intensifying and results under the microscope, the coming weeks are expected to be decisive in determining whether Liverpool proceed with a change or maintain continuity.
