Liverpool have reportedly reaffirmed their support for Arne Slot despite a miserable run of form that saw the reigning Premier League champions lose six of their last seven games and crash out of the Carabao Cup.
The Reds’ latest setback, a 3-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace, has intensified scrutiny on Slot’s management, just months after he delivered the club’s first league title since 2020.
However, according to BBC SportsThe Anfield hierarchy remain calm and united behind their Dutch manager, insisting there is “no chance” of his future being reviewed at this stage.
The mood around Anfield has become uneasy in recent weeks following Liverpool’s alarming dip in form.
Liverpool have struggled to perform this season
After a strong start to the season, the champions have suffered four consecutive defeats in the league, dropping them to seventh in the table, seven points behind leaders Arsenal.
The Carabao Cup exit to Palace, which marked the team’s sixth defeat in seven games, only increased concerns among supporters about the team’s lack of direction and consistency.
Slot, who joined from Feyenoord in the summer of 2024, guided Liverpool to a historic league victory in his debut season and was widely praised for breathing new life into a team in transition. But his second campaign was much more turbulent.
The 3-0 defeat to Palace at Anfield exposed deeper problems, defensive weaknesses, blunt attacking play and an apparent lack of confidence.
Arne Slot’s job is safe at Anfield
Despite mounting criticism from fans and pundits, Liverpool’s ownership remains steadfast.
BBC Sport reports that Fenway Sports Group (FSG) still has full confidence in Slot’s project, noting that he has “plenty of credit in the bank”.
It is also clear that Liverpool’s hierarchy recognizes the context behind the collapse. The summer brought significant changes, with several first-team departures, newcomers adapting to the Premier League and key injuries disrupting the momentum.
After delivering silverware in his debut season, Slot has earned time and understanding from the hierarchy.
