Arne Slot

By Adegboyega Adeleye

Former Liverpool manager Arne Slot has broken his silence following his dismissal by the club, insisting he leaves the Reds “exactly where it belongs: among Europe’s elite.”

Slot’s reaction comes days after Liverpool sacked the Dutchman despite leading the club to the Premier League title in his debut campaign. The decision followed a disappointing 2025-26 season in which the Reds finished fifth, 25 points behind champions Arsenal, although they still secured qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
