Liverpool FC NewsFeaturesSteven Gerrard wasn’t shocked to learn that Arne Slot had been fired by Liverpool after a turbulent season that saw the Reds fall well short of their expectationsSteven Gerrard shared his reaction to Arne Slot being sacked(Image: TNTsports/X)Steven Gerrard was “not surprised” by Liverpool’s decision to sack Arne Slot following a disappointing season at Anfield.Slot’s departure comes just under a week after the final day of the Premier League season, with Liverpool having drawn 1-1 against Brentford at Anfield to secure fifth place and Champions League qualification for next term, albeit finishing 25 points adrift of the champions.Former captain Steven Gerrard is currently in Budapest working as a pundit for TNT Sports ahead of the Champions League final, where he offered his reaction to the news. He said: "Not surprised.

Gutted for Arne Slot because in his first year, he had done an incredible job."Taking the reins from Jurgen Klopp, that was a tough task and big shoes to fill, and he had done it seamlessly. It's very difficult to win the Premier League, and I know that more than most, so for him to deliver that in year one cannot be forgotten, so I think he will go down in the history books and be remembered forever."Having said that, in the last 10 games of last season and the majority of this season, we have not looked like Liverpool.

The style…it has been difficult to watch at times. It looks disjointed, broken, and when I got the news, of course, your initial reaction is surprise and shock, but when you analyze it properly, it's probably the right time in my opinion."Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.
