Liverpool have parted with manager Arne Slot just 12 months after he guided the Merseyside club to the Premier League title.
The English giants announced on Saturday night (AEST) that they’d parted with 47-year-old Dutchman Slot, who took on one of the biggest roles in world soccer in 2024 after Jurgen Klopp stepped aside, saying he was “running out of energy”.
Slot led the Reds to the EPL title last season, but Liverpool finished a distant fifth to champions Arsenal in 2025-26.
“Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way,” the Reds announced on social media.
“He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.”
Andoni Iraola, the 43-year-old Spaniard who stepped down from his role as Bournemouth manager at the end of the season after they qualified for the Europa League for the first time in club history, is one of the hot favourites for the Liverpool role.
