Breaking: Liverpool sets the date for Arne Slot's dismissal

Despite Liverpool's thrilling win over Nottingham Forest, The Kops' leadership plans to reconsider Arne Slot's position at the end of May.

The 2025/26 season has become a challenging puzzle for Fenway Sports Group (FSG). After investing £440 million with high expectations, the reigning champions Liverpool are now struggling in 6th place, trailing league leaders Arsenal by 16 points. A disastrous run in autumn — losing 9 out of 12 matches — has put manager Arne Slot under intense scrutiny.

Reliable insiders reveal that the fate of the Dutch coach will be decided on Monday, May 25, 2026. This is when the club’s top officials will conduct a comprehensive review.

Notably, if Liverpool reaches the Champions League final, this meeting will be postponed to June 2. However, insiders affirm that even securing a spot in Europe’s top competition next season, Slot’s position remains highly uncertain. All contract extension plans (with only 16 months left) have been completely frozen.

Veteran journalist David Lynch openly criticized Slot's personnel management, calling the 9-match losing streak a "utter disgrace at any level". Lynch also highlighted Slot’s stubbornness with Mo Salah — who is enduring his longest goalless streak in Premier League history — and Cody Gakpo as a major mistake.

“Liverpool must show improvement in the remaining part of the season for Arne Slot to feel secure in his role. He needs to win at all costs,”Lynch warned on Anfield Index.

With confidence in Slot at an all-time low, FSG is reportedly preparing alternatives. Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso are on the shortlist for both short-term and long-term plans, signaling Liverpool’s readiness for a sudden change if results do not improve in the final 11 games.

After the fortunate 1-0 win over Forest, Arne Slot himself admitted: “A draw would have been a fairer result than a win for us.”.

This confession further highlights The Kops’ tactical deadlock, where luck is increasingly replacing the quality expected of champions. Now, every remaining match is seen as a "final" for Slot to salvage his career at Anfield.
