No Manchester United or Chelsea Path: Liverpool Stands Firm with Arne Slot
Media reports suggest that Liverpool will not follow Manchester United or Chelsea's approach of mid-season manager dismissal, as they still have confidence in Arne Slot.
Liverpool, under Slot's management, has delivered disappointing results this season, especially in the Premier League where they are the defending champions, currently trailing league leaders Arsenal by 14 points.
These performances have sparked rumors that the 47-year-old head coach might be dismissed mid-season, similar to actions by Manchester United and Chelsea, with Xabi Alonso (former Real Madrid coach) being the top candidate to potentially take over.
However, recent reports from "The Athletic" reveal that Liverpool's Champions League qualification for next season is uncertain. Despite numerous rumors, the truth is that Arne Slot continues to receive support from the team's management. While pressure exists, he has not yet reached a critical point.
Currently, Liverpool has no intention of following Manchester United or Chelsea's mid-season coaching dismissal strategy. Slot's relationship with Richard Hughes, the sporting director, remains strong.
