Liverpool manager Arne has come under the wire recently as the team’s poor run of results shows no sign of abating, MySportDab reports.
The Reds’ underwhelming recent run got messier yesterday as Premier League rivals Manchester City thrashed them 4–0 in the FA Cup quarterfinals, ending their journey in the competition.
That result marked their fourth match without a win in five attempts and edged them closer to what could be a trophyless season.
Things aren’t getting better for the Merseyside club in the Premier League either under Spot’s watch. A run of 14 wins, seven draws, and 10 defeats has left them five points outside the top four.
Their dwindling fortunes in the English elite division stand out as a stark contrast to their title-winning run last season, and this unsavory irony has brought Arne Slot’s job under scrutiny.
However, according to The Athletic, Liverpool are not planning to part ways with Arne Slot despite the team’s poor performances.
The report adds that the Dutch tactician has the backing of the Liverpool board and could be allowed to continue in the reins next season.
However, his chances are still contingent on the team’s fortunes in the run-in. While a mid-season dismissal is ruled out, he could be relieved at the end of the season should Liverpool crash out of the Champions League, fail to make the top four and end the campaign trophyless.
Liverpool plays reigning European champions PSG next in the Champions League on Wednesday, with the team expected to put aside their melee against City and go head-to-head with the Ligue 1 giants.
An impressive outing against PSG may not necessarily atone for their shortcomings this season, but it will swing the balance of the conversation on Slot’s chances.
