Liverpool’s Next Manager: 16 Leading Candidates to Replace Arne Slot if He’s Dismissed

 

 

Back in the summer, the idea of Arne Slot coming under serious pressure at Liverpool would have sounded ridiculous to most fans. The Dutchman had just delivered a Premier League title in his first season, and the club backed him heavily with marquee signings including Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.

But football moves fast. If the shock decision were made to part ways with Slot, there would be no shortage of high-profile names eager to take charge at Anfield. According to Sky Bet’s latest odds, a wide range of managers are already being linked with the job, from proven winners to bold wildcard options.

The bookmakers’ list of leading candidates includes Jürgen Klopp, Xabi Alonso, Andoni Iraola, Oliver Glasner, Steven Gerrard, Julian Nagelsmann, Zinedine Zidane, Unai Emery, Marco Silva, Simone Inzaghi, Xavi Hernández, Cesc Fàbregas, Diego Simeone, Mauricio Pochettino, Brendan Rodgers, and Ange Postecoglou — highlighting just how attractive the Liverpool role would be if it became available.
