Liverpool insist the desire for a change of style should not be viewed as a criticism of Slot, whose calibre as one of Europe’s leading coaches should not be doubted.
Liverpool fans turned on Arne Slot over the course of a difficult season (Picture: Getty) Arne Slot fell out with senior players including Mohamad Salah (Picture: Getty) ‘Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way,’ said a statement. ‘He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.’ The search is already well underway for a successor and Iraola, who is out of work having left Bournemouth last week following the expiration of his contract, appears destined to take over at the helm. Bournemouth secured European qualification for the first time in the club’s history a week ago, finishing just one place and three points behind Liverpool.
Andoni Iraola looks set to take over at Liverpool (Picture: Getty) Speaking last weekend, ahead of Bournemouth’s game against Nottingham Forest, Iraola addressed his next move and said: He said: ‘Now is going to be the time to take decisions. ‘I didn’t want to focus on other things before the season ended. I know there are some options but it is time now to recover a little bit, think with my family and let’s see where the future is.’ Arrow MORE: Champions League prize money: How much Arsenal have earned Arrow MORE: Raheem Sterling arrested on suspicion of drug driving after motorway crash Arrow MORE: Man Utd still planning serious move for £100m Man City target after Ederson transfer In The Mixer’s World Cup special Previews of every single World Cup team in your inbox, featuring the players to look out for, games you shouldn’t miss and Metro’s big England predictions.
