The search results only include the headline and publication metadata from that source, not the article body. However, I can provide context from other recent reporting on this topic: Steven Gerrard is being considered as a potential interim manager for Liverpool if Arne Slot is dismissed[4]. Gerrard has stated he would be willing to help Liverpool in any capacity and that managing the club remains a dream of his[3]. He recently turned down the Rangers manager position in October 2025, which some interpreted as leaving the door open for a Liverpool opportunity[2][5]. Liverpool has faced significant challenges this season, including poor recent form and public conflict with star player Mohamed Salah[3][4]. Despite this turmoil, as of late December, it would still be considered "an enormous shock" for Slot to lose his job, as Liverpool remain supportive of him and the team has shown recent improvement[3].
