New Developments on Arne Slot’s Future as Club Confirms No Immediate Plans to Sack Him”
Liverpool’s future under Arne Slot has come under scrutiny following their heavy 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
The Reds suffered their sixth loss in seven matches on Saturday (November 22), with Sean Dyche’s side claiming three points at Anfield for the second consecutive season. The result leaves Liverpool 11th in the Premier League, 11 points adrift of leaders Arsenal, who thrashed Tottenham 4-1 on Sunday (November 23), thanks to Eberechi Eze’s hat-trick.
Captain Virgil van Dijk has urged his teammates to take responsibility for the club’s slump, while several high-profile summer signings—including Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak—have yet to deliver the impact fans had hoped for after a £415 million spending spree. Hugo Ekitike has shown glimpses of promise but faces competition from Isak for a starting role.
The schedule remains intense, with Liverpool set to face PSV in the Champions League on Wednesday (November 26) before traveling to West Ham on Sunday (November 30). Should results fail to improve, scrutiny on Slot will intensify, despite him having led the club to the Premier League title in his debut season. Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp has advised patience, suggesting the club should avoid rushing into a managerial change.
Addressing the situation, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano described it as “dangerous” but clarified that Liverpool’s owners are not considering an immediate decision. “I don’t have any information suggesting Liverpool will act today or tomorrow,” he said. “They want to see better results and performances from Slot and the team, but they are not in talks with any other manager.” Romano added that results need to improve soon.
Slot himself acknowledged that some tactical adjustments against Forest “didn’t work” and took full responsibility for the team’s struggles, insisting the accountability lies with him whether outcomes are good or bad.
