Overview
- Liverpool dismissed Arne Slot after a disappointing second season and an internal review of results and squad dynamics that eroded trust between the manager and senior players.
- Slot left under a contract that ran to 2027 and agreed a reported £7 million settlement with the club.
- Andoni Iraola has been installed as head coach on a two-year deal to lead the club’s tactical overhaul and a wider summer rebuild of staff and squad.
- Slot has turned down an approach from Fulham and is being linked with international and major European roles, including the Netherlands job and positions at Ajax, Celtic, and AC Milan.
- Reports from multiple outlets say deteriorating relationships with senior players, notably Mohamed Salah, plus cup and European exits were material factors in Liverpool’s decision and will shape Iraola’s immediate challenge to restore form and unity.
