Liverpool may be considering Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen as a potential replacement for Arne Slot, according to SPORT.
The Dutch coach is facing mounting pressure following a disappointing start to the season. Although Liverpool sit third in the league, they have lost six of their last eight matches across all competitions, and their performances have often been underwhelming. Slot has struggled to get the best out of his squad despite a significant summer spending spree. Whether Liverpool will lose patience and make a move soon remains to be seen.
The 45-year-old Belgian is highly regarded across Europe and could be an intriguing option for the club. However, if Liverpool decides to part ways with Slot, the ideal candidate would likely be someone with proven experience at the top level and a history of winning major trophies. While Hayen is talented, he has yet to be tested at football’s highest stage, and the Liverpool role might currently be too big for him. Rob Edwards, chairman of Haverfordwest, has suggested Hayen could reach this level within two years. Described as a manager with “a special aura,” the opportunity to lead Liverpool would undoubtedly excite him.
In the coming weeks, it will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds. Slot will be eager to turn Liverpool’s season around and retain his position. He still carries significant credibility after guiding the club to last season’s league title, so a hasty decision regarding his future seems unlikely. The club is expected to show patience, giving him the chance to get results back on track.
