As rumours continue to swirl regarding Arne Slot’s future as Liverpool’s head coach, journalist James Pearce has dropped a key new update. Slot has been under huge pressure for many months now, with his Reds side producing an awful defence of their Premier League title.

At times, it has arguably looked like Slot has lost the dressing room, given the lack of quality and running on the pitch, but The Athletic‘s Pearce has now claimed that he has the backing of the squad: “Yes. Understandably there’s a lot of frustration over how this season has panned out but I think he still commands their respect.” Would Arne Slot be lucky to keep his job at Liverpool?

If Slot does stay, he will know more than anyone that a fast start is needed by Liverpool next season, following a positive summer in the transfer market. There is definitely a risk in sticking with Slot, but hopefully, this season has been nothing more than a blip, with the tragic death of Diogo Jota a factor, as well as injuries to important players and a loss of confidence.
