Arne Slot was sacked after the disappointing conclusion to the 2025-26 Premier League season, and Michael Owen has provided his opinion of how things transpired. Slot blew fans away with a Premier League title win in his maiden season on Merseyside, but things fell apart in his second.

Michael Owen explains his understanding of FSG decision to sack Arne Slot “Towards the end of the season you could feel the fans’ unrest, and I was initially believing that Liverpool would give Slot more time and he would be in charge next season,” Owen told the Liverpool ECHO. “But once the season was ending, if you asked fans at the matches, there was a real feeling that they didn’t believe Slot was the right man to take the club football forward and I believe the board could also feel this which I think helped them make the decision that a change was necessary.

“I thought Slot did excellent in his first season. The future is exciting for Liverpool, but the players and fans will need to buy into his philosophy.
