— Liverpool FC (@LFC) May 30, 2026 “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. He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation," the club said. Slot, who came in to follow club icon Jurgen Klopp’s tenure at the helm of the fabled Merseyside club, led the PL heavyweights to their 20th English top-flight crown in his debut season. “Arne helped us deliver our 20th title and we’ll always be thankful," the club added. Liverpool broke the bank in the transfer window with the signings of multiple names including Florian Wirtz, Jermie Frimpong, Alexander Isak, but could only manage to accumulate 60 points in the 38 game season and finished fifth behind champions Arsenal, chasing Man City, third-placed Man United, and Aston Villa in fourth.
The season which promised much for the Liverpool faithful ending up turning into a bit of a nightmare following star forwards Mohamed Salah’s fall-out with the Dutch boss, which arguably played a catalytic role in the deterioration of relation and Slot’s eventual exit from the storied English side.
