Liverpool Sack Head Coach Slot

Liverpool have announced the sacking of head coach Arne Slot after two seasons in charge.

Slot, 47, guided the Liverpool to their 20th league title in his debut season but they have struggled during his second year, finishing fifth in the Premier League.

Andoni Iraola, who recently left Bournemouth, is the leading contender to replace Slot.

Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group said in a statement:”That this was a difficult decision for us to make as a club goes without saying. The contribution Arne has made to Liverpool FC in the time that he has been with us has been significant, meaningful and – most importantly of all to supporters and ourselves – successful.

“As such, our appreciation for everything he has achieved could not be greater, particularly as it was underpinned by a work ethic, a diligence and a level of expertise which further underlined our view that he is a leader in his field.

“From the moment that we first encountered Arne, it was immediately clear that he is an individual who does not merely accept responsibility, he embraces it.”
