Liverpool have parted ways with Arne Slot, the Merseyside club said on Saturday, after the manager who won the Premier League title in his first season failed to live up to expectations as they finished fifth.
Former Feyenoord boss Slot replaced Juergen Klopp in 2024 and the Dutchman impressed in his first season as Liverpool won the Premier League title.
However, his second season at Liverpool transformed from a title defense into a desperate scramble for Champions League qualification while they failed to win a domestic cup, marking a dramatic downturn for the defending champions.
“That this was a difficult decision for us to make as a club goes without saying. The contribution Arne has made to Liverpool FC in the time that he has been with us has been significant, meaningful and – most importantly of all to supporters and ourselves – successful,” Liverpool said in a statement.
