Why Liverpool should replace Arne Slot with Xabi Alonso as head coach
Arne Slot delivered the Premier League title in his first season at Liverpool.
Impressed with the Dutchman’s success, the Merseyside titans backed him heavily in the transfer market, investing over £450 million on new signings.
But things haven’t quite worked out for Slot and Liverpool this season, as the team’s performances and results have been dismal in 2025-26.
Despite their struggles, the Reds are on the cusp of securing a place in next season’s Champions League.
The club supporters, however, are seemingly not happy with their head coach, as they made their feelings known during Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Anfield.
Slot was booed by the home fans after he brought off youngster Rio Ngumoha in the second-half.
There are currently no indications the club’s hierarchy are planning to part company with the Dutch boss.
But managers don’t generally last long once they lose the faith of their own supporters.
Alonso’s stint at Real Madrid wasn’t a success. He lasted less than a year at the Santiago Bernabeu after signing a three-year contract last summer.
Liverpool is considering replacing Arne Slot due to disappointing performances and results in the current season.
Arne Slot led Liverpool to a Premier League title in his first season but has struggled with the team's performance in the ongoing season.
Hiring Xabi Alonso could bring fresh tactics and a new direction to Liverpool, potentially improving the team's performance.

Despite the failure, the Spaniard’s stocks remain high, as Chelsea have put him at the top of their shortlist to replace Liam Rosenior as head coach.
We believe Liverpool should act quickly to win the race for Alonso.
The former midfielder knows the club well, having played there under Rafael Benitez between 2004 and 2009.
He is adored at Anfield, and also has the advantage of previously working with Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong at Bayer Leverkusen.
Alonso worked wonders at Leverkusen, guiding them to their first Bundesliga title in 2023-24 with an unbeaten domestic season.
The Black and Reds also reached the Europa League final that season, eventually losing to Atalanta.
Alonso was heavily linked with the Liverpool head coach role two years ago when Jurgen Klopp announced he was leaving the club.
But the Spanish boss had made it clear he was staying at Leverkusen for another season.
