Slot sacked within days: Replacement has been contacted | OneFootball

Liverpool headed into the international window on the back of yet another defeat.

Arne Slot has now presided over 10 defeats in the Premier League this season - more than in any other campaign for a decade.

The defending champions are fighting just to hold onto their place in the Champions League - and the Brighton defeat on Sunday won’t have helped Slot's cause.

Sporting director Richard Hughes oversaw £450m worth of spending last summer but the club haven’t managed to get any better.

New signings have either been injured or are not gelling together well. And Slot is also suffering due to a drop in output from players like Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister.

FSG are now reported to be ready to take action as soon as the current international window.

Slot to be sacked within days

According to Spanish source Defensa Central Liverpool have reached out to Xabi Alonso and would be interesting in appointing him imminently.

The report states that Slot - already under scrutiny - could lose his job in a matter of days with Alonso now primed to take over.

“Arne Slot's position at Liverpool is increasingly under scrutiny, and he could be sacked in the coming days,” the report reads.

“Following the defeat to Brighton during the international break, there's a chance he won't continue in his role. And Xabi Alonso is the leading candidate to replace him."
