Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers Eyed as Possible Replacements for Under-Fire Liverpool Boss Arne Slot

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is facing mounting pressure after a worrying run of results, and reports now suggest that the club’s hierarchy has begun assessing alternative managerial options should the situation worsen. Among the names being considered are Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou and Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.

Slot, who succeeded Jurgen Klopp in the summer of 2024, is enduring a difficult spell as Liverpool’s performances and results continue to dip. With supporters growing increasingly frustrated and the team slipping further down the table, senior figures at Anfield are believed to be quietly preparing contingency plans.

Postecoglou has emerged as a leading candidate. The Australian has earned widespread praise for his attacking style, bold tactical ideas, and his ability to quickly reshape squads. His impact at Spurs has not gone unnoticed by Liverpool chiefs, who reportedly admire his clear football identity and strong leadership.

Rodgers, who previously managed Liverpool between 2012 and 2015, is also being monitored. Currently back at Celtic and guiding them to domestic success, Rodgers remains a respected coach in England and is seen as a viable option should the club opt for a familiar face with Premier League experience.

Sources suggest that while Slot is still being supported publicly, the pressure behind the scenes is intensifying. Upcoming fixtures are expected to play a major role in determining his future, as Liverpool seek to stabilise their season and regain momentum.

For now, Slot remains in charge — but with Postecoglou and Rodgers already viewed as potential successors, the coming weeks could prove decisive for the Dutchman’s Anfield tenure.
