Arne Slot’s Future at Liverpool: Backed or Under Pressure?

The latest Media Matters episode from Anfield Index shifted focus onto the increasingly scrutinised position of Arne Slot at Liverpool. Despite guiding the club to a Premier League title last season, the current campaign has unravelled, leaving Liverpool fourth and out of all cup competitions. Yet, if the discussion between Dave Davis and Lewis Steele is anything to go by, Slot’s future may not be as uncertain as results suggest.

Club stance points towards continuity

Steele was unequivocal when addressing the question of whether Liverpool could make a managerial change. “No, I don’t think there will be any change from the Slot end, definitely,” he said, before reinforcing that view with: “I think that he will lead Liverpool into the new season.”

That clarity is significant. In a season where performances have been widely criticised, the expectation might lean towards upheaval. Instead, the internal message appears steady. Steele added: “I can’t foresee a scenario now where he doesn’t.”

This suggests Liverpool’s hierarchy are leaning towards stability, even as external pressure mounts.

Results shaping the narrative

Interestingly, recent results have played a role in softening the conversation. Steele pointed to Liverpool’s current run: “He’s won three on the spin.”

While that does not erase a disappointing title defence, it has influenced perceptions. Steele explained: “Even though it’s not been perfect… it’s sort of changed the narrative and the outlook to a more positive one, which is what Slot needs.”

There is a sense that timing matters. A strong finish could reinforce the club’s belief that the Dutch coach remains the right man to rebuild.

Pressure remains despite backing

Support among supporters, however, appears fragile. Steele acknowledged the disconnect: “There’s not much optimism that he will turn it round from this season.”

He went further, highlighting the scale of the challenge ahead: “He’s got to show him some proof and get the trust back because it’s very low at the moment.”
