The Liverpool FC board is reportedly reconsidering the future of manager Arne Slot, despite previous assurances that the Dutchman would remain at the helm for the next season.
While Slot recently claimed he had the full backing of the hierarchy and had already begun planning for the 2026/27 campaign, the narrative has shifted following a disappointing season for the Reds.
Dressing Room Split and Tactical Collapse
According to reports, Liverpool officials fear that Slot has completely lost the dressing room. Internal divisions are said to be threatening the team’s stability, and even a top-four finish might not be enough to save his job. A defeat against Brentford in the final Premier League match of the season could be the final nail in the coffin for the former Feyenoord boss.

Potential Successors: Hoeneß and Nagelsmann Linked
Network TeamTalk suggests that Liverpool has already begun scouting potential replacements. The shortlist includes:
-
Sebastian Hoeneß: The Stuttgart manager is currently the frontrunner to take over at Anfield.
-
Julian Nagelsmann: A top target if he decides to leave the German national team after the 2026 World Cup.
-
Andoni Iraola: Set to leave Bournemouth this summer.
-
Oliver Glasner: The Crystal Palace boss who has impressed with his tactical impact in England.
After succeeding Jürgen Klopp in 2024 and winning the Premier League title in his debut season, Slot’s second year has seen a dramatic collapse, resulting in a “trophy-less” season that has left his future hanging by a thread.
