Liverpool icon eyes Arne Slot’s job at Anfield

 

 

Arne Slot may have come out on top in his standoff with Mohamed Salah, but the pressure on him as Liverpool boss has not eased. Victories against West Ham and Inter Milan have offered some relief, yet with the reigning champions sitting 10th in the Premier League after 15 games, consistent results are now essential.

 

Liverpool face Brighton this weekend, followed by a demanding festive run against Tottenham, Wolves and Leeds. Failure to secure wins in most of these fixtures would inevitably intensify doubts over Slot’s long-term future at Anfield.

 

Should performances and results fail to improve, Liverpool could begin exploring alternatives. One name already being linked is Steven Gerrard, who is currently without a club. Football Insider reports that the Reds legend would be eager to step in on an interim basis if the opportunity arose.

 

Given the limited options available midway through the season, Liverpool would likely opt for a temporary appointment if Slot were dismissed. Gerrard’s deep connection with the club and its supporters could make him a natural short-term solution, despite his recent criticism of the team.

 

Overall, this campaign has fallen well short of expectations. While there have been signs of improvement, Liverpool have still dropped points at home to Sunderland and away at Leeds. Slot’s Premier League title win last season has earned him some patience, but if the team continues to drift away from the top positions, his exit would not come as a shock.
