Liverpool's Surprising Plan for Their Manager After Three Straight Defeats

Liverpool are reportedly preparing to extend the contract of manager Arne Slot despite the team’s recent dip in form that saw them suffer three consecutive defeats .. 2 in the Premier League & one in the champions league.

Liverpool’s Confidence in Slot

According to the Daily Mail, negotiations're already underway between Slot’s representatives and club officials to renew his deal. The Dutchman who replaced Jurgen Klopp in May 2024 currently has 3 year left on his contract after leading Liverpool to the PL title in his debut season.

Why the Early Renewal Matters?

The club hierarchy wants to move quickly to avoid repeat of last season’s uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander Arnold.

Their contract situations became major distractions before Salah & Van Dijk renewed while Arnold departed for Real Madrid.

Lessons from the Klopp Era

Liverpool’s board appears keen to replicate the stability once offered under Klopp who was handed 6 year contract extension just 9 month after taking over.

They now hope to secure Slot’s long term future before he enters the final stages of his current deal.

Despite the club’s confidence in his project, Slot's under pressure after back to back league defeats to Crystal Palace & Chelsea followed by champions league loss to Galatasaray.
