Concerns are growing about the future of Arne Slot, the head coach of the English football team Liverpool.
Idman.Biz reports that although the Mersyside team started the 2025/2026 season as the defending champion, they failed to live up to expectations. Despite FSG (Fenway Sports Group - the US company that owns Liverpool) spending more than £440 million (AZN 1 billion) on transfers in the summer, the team is close to finishing the season without a title.
Liverpool lost the Premier League title early, failed to advance beyond the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and Champions League, and stopped fighting in the fourth round of the League Cup.
TEAMtalk sources write that FSG is ready to give Slot another chance next season. However, Daily Mail's Merseyside correspondent Luis Steele wrote that the Dutch expert has not yet presented a serious argument to give fans confidence:
"Slot needs to do something to show fans that he is the man who can change things. So far, there is no evidence to suggest that next season will be better."
Former Liverpool player John Oldridge also strongly criticized the team's recent performances. He wrote that the team lost its identity after the 2:3 defeat to Manchester United.
Oldridge also reacted harshly to the defense line:
"At 67, I could play in their defensive quartet with a cigarette in my mouth. There is no need to make excuses for injuries."
According to the source, Liverpool plans to strengthen mainly the midfield line in the summer. In addition, the issue of a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah is also on the club's transfer agenda.
