Slot's future is in jeopardy. |
The reigning Premier League champions have won just one of their last seven games and are languishing in the bottom half of the table, despite spending £450m on summer transfers. The slump has shaken Slot’s position, and the betting markets have started to change. The biggest surprise: Jurgen Klopp is leading the list of candidates to return to the hot seat.
Klopp left Liverpool in May 2024 after nearly nine years, a period in which he brought every major title to the club. The German strategist said goodbye because of "running out of energy", then moved to the role of global football manager for the Red Bull system.
However, in a broadcast last month, Klopp did not rule out the possibility of a reunion. He affirmed that if he ever returned to England as a manager, the only team he would want to manage would still be Liverpool. That caused the bookmakers to quickly push him to the number one position at odds of 4/1.
Just behind Klopp is Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner at 5/1. The Austrian won the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt and the FA Cup with Palace last season. Glasner also has an impressive record of winning his last three meetings with Liverpool, which has attracted the attention of analysts.
Andoni Iraola is third on the list. The Bournemouth manager has been praised for his way of getting the small club off the ground and finishing 9th last season. Despite losing several key players in the summer, Bournemouth have maintained a consistent form, making Iraola a potential Anfield signing.
Other names mentioned include Unai Emery, Julian Nagelsmann and Diego Simeone. However, Liverpool are expected to be patient with Arne Slot. However, the pressure is growing by the day, especially when results on the pitch can no longer mask the increasingly obvious problems.
Anfield is always a place of great expectation. And at this time, Slot needs an important boost to maintain his seat which is becoming more precarious than ever.
