Gary Neville Backs Arne Slot to Stay at Liverpool Next Season

The message points to stability over upheaval heading into a pivotal transfer window.

Overview

  • Neville, speaking in a Sky Sports fan Q&A on Wednesday, urged Liverpool to keep Slot for 2026–27 and said the team will improve even if it does not win the league.
  • He questioned parts of the fanbase for turning on Slot, citing a drop in patience and a flatter atmosphere at Anfield this season.
  • Reporting indicates Fenway Sports Group are expected to retain Slot in the near term, with a late-season uptick putting Champions League qualification back within reach.
  • Attention now shifts to summer signings, with pundits stressing the need to replace Mohamed Salah’s goals and add targeted quality rather than make wholesale changes.
  • Slot won the title in his first season, but Liverpool spent much of this campaign outside the top four before a post‑Easter rebound, which could lower pressure and reset expectations next year.
