Liverpool now closing in on DREAM man to replace Arne Slot | OneFootball

Nonetheless, the Premier League champions should still be given some grace and some patience. It's only if Liverpool's defensive tweak ultimately ends-up failing that the club should seek a replacement for Slot.

When and if that could happen remains to be seen. Slot will be given as much time as possible until it looks like there really is no way of going back for him and his position becomes untenable.

The biggest headache about that would then become who to replace Slot with. Right now in the current market there's no one you could really say with confidence would be able to do a better job than the Dutchman.

Cesc Fabregas is promising at Como but would he leave a club who he is a part-owner of to join Liverpool mid-season? That seems unlikely.

The same for Julian Nagelsmann, who is unlikely to leave his position as Germany's head-coach so close to the World Cup.
