Overview
- Liverpool are expected to keep Arne Slot for next season, according to Wednesday reports, following Sunday’s 3-2 loss at Manchester United that made it 11 league defeats and 18 in all competitions.
- Dutch outlet De Telegraaf, via reporter Mike Verweij, said Ajax asked about hiring Slot, but he intends to continue at Liverpool and is not keen on a move to Amsterdam.
- John W. Henry told Sports Business Journal that FSG “won’t settle for mediocrity,” a public marker of expectations even as the club plans to retain its head coach.

- Pundit chatter continues around possible successors if plans change, with Gary Lineker mentioning Xabi Alonso and The i reporting Andoni Iraola would be among candidates under consideration.
