Arne Slot is likely to keep his Liverpool job for another season after a strong start, despite current challenges in the league. The team is struggling to qualify for the Champions League despite significant spending last summer.
Arne Slot has got one man to thank for keeping his Liverpool job
It looks like FSG will be sticking with Arne Slot - for another season at least.
The Liverpool head coach got off to the best possible start to life on Merseyside - winning the 2025/25 Premier League title. The situation is far more difficult this time around - despite £450m worth of spending last summer.
Far from embarking on a successful title defence the Anfield side are merely just trying to qualify for the Champions League via their league position.
And finishing in the top five is set to have a big impact on Liverpool as a whole as well as deciding Slot’s fate. Without Champions League football for next season the Reds could have been facing potential jeopardy.
It would also have had an impact on which players could be targetted in the summer transfer market. As it stands Slot’s end-of-season review with Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards is likely to show he’s fulfilled that objective.
And the Dutchman will then be overseeing his third campaign in charge - which takes him towards 2027 when his current contract expires.
If Slot is in charge next season then he will owe one man a great deal of thanks. Due to Chelsea losing their last five Premier League matches in a row Liverpool’s task of finishing in the top five has become a hell of a lot easier.
Liam Rosenior - sacked on Tuesday - was appointed Chelsea head coach back in January and initially got off to a great start results-wise.
Four Premier League wins in a row - and a dramatic victory over Napoli in the Champions League - all helped to steady the ship post-Enzo Maresca.
Arne Slot is likely to keep his job due to his successful start, including winning the Premier League title in the 2025/26 season.
