The Dutchman's two-year tenure comes after Jurgen Klopp spent nearly nine years in charge at Anfield, and Redknapp hopes that short tenures are not to become the norm at Anfield.Redknapp referenced the situation at Manchester United that transpired following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013.
United has not won the Premier League since Ferguson left, and the Red Devils are now onto their seventh permanent boss since Ferguson's exit."I feel disappointed for Arne Slot," Redknapp said on Sky Sports. "It was an incredible achievement to win the Premier League and there were a lot of circumstances this season that made it hard to coach that team."I hope Liverpool doesn't go down that route of hiring and firing."We have seen what has happened at Manchester United.
It hasn't worked or had the desired effect."I think the players will have played a big part in this. They may have spoken to the owners or the people in charge and said their peace, maybe not enjoying playing under Arne Slot."Arne Slot was fired on Saturday(Image: 2026 James Gill - Danehouse)Despite Redknapp's concerns over player power, it is understood that Liverpool's players were not consulted on the decision to remove Slot.The call to fire him was largely data-led following an end-of-season review that was conducted by Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards.Liverpool fired Slot because the club feels as though a shift in the club's style of play is needed in order to bounce back from a disappointing season.The Reds also feel as though the landscape of the Premier League has changed in recent years, leading to a different set of skills being required.Slot is said to have been shocked at the decision, which was communicated to him just 90 minutes prior to Liverpool officially confirming the news at around 12.30pm BST on Saturday.Liverpool is expected to appoint Andoni Iraiola as Slot's replacement and is hopeful of doing so before the World Cup gets underway on June 11.Iraola has held talks with AC Milan, Bayer Leverkusen and Crystal Palace, but Liverpool is now the clear favorite to secure the Spaniard's services, with formal talks scheduled for today (Monday).Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCArne SlotManchester United FC
