Twelve months ago, Liverpool were running away with the Premier League title, Slot’s side fluid, relentless and well clear at the top.This campaign has looked nothing like that. The defeat to PSG has stung, but it seems the club is not being rushed into a decision on the Dutch manager.David Ornstein has reported that the club will stand by Slot even in the event that his side does not qualify for the Champions League in 2026/27.Speaking on the Athletic FC podcast, he said:“All of our information is that FSG, the ownership, the sporting hierarchy at Liverpool – they intend to stick with Arne Slot.

From the conversations I’ve had – even if there’s no Champions League football – that’s the intention.”The fanbase is certainly growing more restless with every poor performance and result, and it will be interesting to see if Slot is able to win back the supporters trust next term.While there has been plenty of reports that Slot will be staying on, it’s the first time that a reliable journalist like Ornstein is claiming that he will remain regardless of Champions League qualification.Meanwhile, the club’s elimination from Europe also cost them the Ekitike injury, which now clouds their attacking plans for next season.But it seems that Campions League football or not, the Dutchman stays.
