He won't survive: Revealed conditions under which 'Slot' could be sacked by Liverpool before the season ends (video) "Slot"
On 13 Mar 2026 GMT+7, Natthaphon Damrongrojwatana, known by the pen name "Tang Kui," a columnist and well-known football critic, analyzed the chances that Liverpool, the famous English Premier League club, would dismiss Arne Slot from his managerial position before this season ends.
This question was raised by fans commenting during the "Clear Rim Sen" program on Thairath Sport after Liverpool suffered another setback, losing 0-1 away to Galatasaray, their old rival, again in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, having lost by the same score in the group stage in September.
At the same time, Liverpool currently holds 6th place in the Premier League standings, behind 3rd place Manchester United, 4th Aston Villa, and 5th Chelsea, meaning they still face the risk of missing out on next season's UEFA Champions League.
When a fan commented, "But if the Reds lose to Spurs and Galatasaray and get knocked out of the UCL, Slot has more than a 50% chance of being sacked," Tang Kui analyzed the likelihood, saying, "He probably would have gone after losing to Spurs already (laughs)."
"As I said, fan sentiments can be intense, but sometimes the club tries to stay calm and base decisions on reason. We can't always say whether a loss would definitely lead to his departure."
"But is there a risk? The risk is definitely increasing a lot. Even when Liverpool lost 9 out of 12 matches, that was a tough period. The manager's position was extremely hot then. He probably should have been sacked, but he managed to survive."
"As I mentioned, Slot still has credit from last season when he won the Premier League. But who knows when that goodwill will run out. If they lose these two games, is there a chance? I think yes, because sometimes clubs also consider fan sentiment."
"Even if they try to be patient, we can see this looks like a special, unexpected issue. Football often has these situations where clubs feel the need to take action."
"As for Spurs, we'll see. Igor Tudor (the interim coach until the end of this season) might not stay either. There's talk he might only manage for now and then leave, because the pressure is intense. So this opinion is plausible: if they lose these two matches and get knocked out of the Champions League, there's a chance."
