Arne Slot lifted the Premier League title 12 months ago, with Liverpool crowned champions by a 10-point margin. Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has emerged as a leading candidate for the Chelsea job and has also been consistently linked with a potential future role at Liverpool since leaving Real Madrid in January.According to GIVEMESPORT, Liverpool have no plans to conduct a summer review into Arne Slot’s position, with the Dutchman not under threat of dismissal.Slot made an immediate impact at Anfield last year, but after more than £400million spent on new signings, results have not gone as planned this season.Injuries to key arrivals such as Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike, along with Florian Wirtz’s adaptation to the Premier League, have disrupted progress, while there was also a reported public falling-out with Mohamed Salah.Despite a disappointing campaign, Liverpool remain on course for Champions League qualification, needing two points from their final two matches to secure it.However, Fenway Sports Group have no intention of reviewing Slot’s future, with the manager expected to remain in charge heading into the 2026/27 season.Ben Jacobs said: “I don’t even think this narrative of Liverpool reassessing in the summer necessarily has that much credence regarding Arne Slot’s future.“The position, speaking to Liverpool sources, is clear and has been for quite some time, that Liverpool and FSG back Arne Slot and they’ve got a big summer ahead, and this idea that they’re going to have a review at the end of the season and may U-turn on that position is downplayed by sources.“What now can change between today and the end of the season?

Liverpool are highly likely to get Champions League football, that’s the best they can do, and it’s been clear for quite some time, so any review doesn’t need to wait until the summer.“There’s ongoing dialogue and feedback, and Arne Slot is part of the summer planning, and it’ll be a huge U-turn, an unexpected situation, if FSG and Liverpool’s leadership team suddenly get to the summer and go, now the season’s ended, we’ve got a different perspective.”He added: “The main reason why Arne Slot is backed is because there are seen as mitigating circumstances to this season.“It was obviously a tragic and horrible and sad summer with the passing of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. But Liverpool are slowly building, and the feeling remains that stability and chemistry between these new signings and likely two attackers/wingers can make a big, big difference.“Liverpool want to stick with Arne Slot, they haven’t forgotten that he won the Premier League in his first season.

I know some Liverpool fans will argue that was a Jurgen Klopp legacy and there are a lot of Liverpool fans that are not backing Slot at the moment, but FSG don’t share that sentiment, and this is why there’s been no talks with Xabi Alonso yet, despite reports.”Arne Slot has one year left on his Liverpool contract, and it remains to be seen whether the club will offer him an extension.
