Arne Slot made a strong impression in his debut season in the Premier League by guiding the Reds to the league title. However, his current campaign fell short of these standards, marred by a series of inconsistent results. Then, The Dutchman’s future at the club remains highly uncertain as Liverpool have reportedly made contact with another head coach to lead the team for the 2026-2027 season.
According to Diario AS it is Arne Slot will remain Liverpool’s head coach until the end of the current season. However, his future ahead of the 2026-2027 season has not yet been fully defined The Reds have reportedly contacted Xabi Alonso to gauge his availability to take charge of the team next season. In response, the Spaniard has given a positive response, making his arrival a realistic possibility.
Even though Slot’s departure remains a possibility, it is not certain, as the Dutchman still has a large part of the season ahead of himand improved competitiveness could give him a boost. In addition, the Reds tend to commit to long-term projects with their coachesas they did with Jurgen Klopp, so it would be surprising to fire him as he has already managed to win the Premier League despite his current poor season.
Not just Slot: Liverpool is still struggling with a growing selection crisis
Unlike previous seasons, Liverpool are making significant changes to their squadcausing serious inconsistencies in their level of play. They not only lost Luis Diaz, but also Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Nuñez. Furthermore, Ibrahima Konate was not at his best, leaving Virgil van Dijk exposed at the back as they could only rotate Joe Gomez on the bench. For this reason, the Reds’ problems extend far beyond Arne Slot.

Whether Arne Slot remains in charge or Xabi Alonso arrives, changes to investments and the roster are likely either way. For that reason A change of head coach may not be the best solution. Moreover, the Dutch coach has already shown that he has the quality to lead the team, but he needs time to adapt his squad as several key players are still adapting to the Premier League, something that the Spanish coach might also need as it would be his first experience as a coach in England.
