Hope fades, tears shed as Liverpool refuses to sack "Arne Slot"; Xabi Alonso has yet to impress.
On 12 Mar 2026 GMT+7, David Ornstein, a top reporter from The Athletic, revealed that according to his information, Liverpool continues to fully support Arne Slot. He has a contract with the club until 2027, and the club now wants him to continue as coach. Senior club executives believe he is the person who can steer Liverpool back on the right path.
David Ornstein stated, “If Liverpool needs to go through the process of hiring a new coach, Slot's profile is already what they are looking for. Currently, there is no manager in the market who fits the club’s requirements better than Arne Slot. Therefore, the club does not need to rush to sack this coach.”
“I expect this situation to continue, and whatever condition the club is in by summer, I don’t think dismissing the head coach is on Liverpool’s agenda.”
