Arne Slot is under growing pressure at Liverpool amid a poor run of results.
Liverpool could turn to former manager Jurgen Klopp, should they decide to sack Arne Slot, according to reports. The manager has been named as possible candidate.
Klopp left Liverpool in the summer of 2024, and was replaced by Slot. The Dutchman led Liverpool to Premier League title in his first season, but has now come under pressure.
The Sun report that should Slot be sacked by Anfield bosses, then they could approach Klopp about taking the role until the end of the season. The club would then work on a deal for long-term target – PSG boss Luis Enrique.
The report says that conversations have taken place among Liverpool executives over the future of Slot. Bosses are said to be worried that the manager is losing the dressing room.
Speaking following Wednesday night’s 4-1 loss against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, Slot said: “It would be nice to turn it around and get a victory.
“But if you are working as a coach and not doing well then it is normal that questions are asked.
“If you lose so many times, people start talking about that. I have got a lot of support from above. I am OK with my position.
“They don’t call every single minute of the day to say they trust me, but in the normal conversations we have, I feel the trust.”
Liverpool’s last 12 games have seen them lose nine times. They are back in action on Sunday afternoon when they take on West Ham United at the London Stadium (2.05pm kick-off).
A loss in that game would pile more pressure on Slot. It comes following a summer transfer spend of over £420 million.
£125 million of that was spent on striker Alexander Isak. However the Sweden international has struggled since moving from Newcastle, with his only goal for the club coming in the Carabao Cup win over Championship side Southampton.
Klopp is currently employed by Red Bull as the Head of Global soccer. Speaking about the possibility over never returning to coaching again, Klopp gave an interesting answer.
“That’s what I think. But you don’t know,” he told The Athletic in October.
“I’m 58. If I started again at 65, everybody will say, ‘You said you’ll never do it again!’ Er, sorry, I thought 100 per cent (when I said it)! That is what I think now. I don’t miss anything [about being a manager].”
