The Premier benches have become the ‘game of chairs’: Andoni Iraola and Oliver Glasner long ago they announced their farewell to Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, Xabi Alonso has just landed at Chelsea and the departure of Pep Guardiola of the Manchester City seems imminent.
To all this a new ‘bombshell’ could be added: Arne Slot’s departure from Liverpool. The terrible season of the ‘reds’ – they have suffered 12 defeats – is taking its toll, but it seemed that the premier conquered the last season would serve you endorsement to continue another year. However, something has gone ‘wrong’ at Anfield.
Epic confusion! Igor Tudor mistakenly thought he was Arne Slot
“The Liverpool board has decided not to continue with Arne Slot as coach for the 2026-27 season. Having previously opted to give Slot more time to put things right, the decision to sack Slot was made at the weekend following conversations with senior players,” he said.

An exclusive that fits what was announced Fabrizio Romano a few days ago on his channel: “Liverpool will carry out an evaluation at the end of the season in which the players, the board and also Slot will participate. At the moment, Liverpool have not contacted other coaches. They always insisted that they wanted to continue with Slot, butThat evaluation is crucial to defining Liverpool’s future. “Serious internal discussions are taking place. Not everyone agrees with the idea that he should definitely stay,” add ‘TeamTalk’.
A decision that, according to insists Roycewould already be taken, although it will be announced once the Premier ends: “Slot is expected to take charge of Liverpool’s final game of the season, against Brentford on Sunday”.
It will be, curiously, the farewell to Mohamed Salahwhich, after the defeat against Aston Villa, put more pressure on slot, with whom he has maintained a permanent ‘tug of war’ throughout the course: “I want to see Liverpool to once again be that forceful attacking team that rivals fear and to once again be a team that wins trophies.

“That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that must be recovered and maintained forever. It is not negotiable and everyone who joins this club must adapt to it,” assured ‘The Pharaoh’ in ‘Instagram’.

What he says (Salah) is obvious. If the board thinks that next season is going to be different… I’m surprised. I don’t see how (things are going to change)”, insist Pennant.

Why did they let Xabi Alonso go?
Michael Edwards and Richard HughesLiverpool’s directors of football, continue their ‘internal evaluation’. However, if the departure of slot, would surprise the ‘timing’. And it’s just been a few days since Xabi Alonso, ‘red’ legend, committed to Chelsea.
Chris Royce also provides information on this matter. Apparently, ‘Pool’ would not have been interested in the former Real Madrid coach. The reason he gives is simple: in the club They wanted to escape from the figure of a ‘manager’ who controls everything, which will be the role that Xabi Alonso occupies at Chelsea.
Slot: “I need to have a conversation with Salah”
“The Liverpool board seeks to replace Slot with a head coach instead of a manager, hence the lack of interest in Xabi Alonso”, insist Roycewhich, however, does not get wet about a possible substitute for the Dutchman: “No decision has been made yet on Slot’s replacement.” To be continued…
