Liverpool FC NewsFeaturesArne SlotLess than a week after being sacked by Liverpool, oddsmakers have already tipped Arne Slot as one of the favorites for a surprise return to the Premier LeagueArne Slot is a potential option for Premier League teams with vacancies now or in the future(Image: Photo by Gaspafotos/MB Media/Getty Images)New betting odds suggest Arne Slot could be in line for a shock return to the Premier League following his dismissal by Liverpool.Slot was sacked by Liverpool after only two seasons in charge, with the decision coming less than a week after the Reds concluded their 2025-26 campaign.Despite reports suggesting the Dutchman would remain at Anfield next season, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) ultimately opted for a change and is now closing in on former Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola as his successor.Slot 's departure is the latest managerial casualty in a season of significant upheaval across the Premier League. Of the 20 clubs that competed in the division last season, 12 have either changed managers during the campaign or are searching for a new head coach this summer.Newcastle United are among the eight clubs to have retained their manager, although questions remain over Eddie Howe’s long-term future at St James’ Park after an underwhelming 12th-place finish.If Howe is relieved of his duties, either before or during next season, bookmakers believe Slot could be among the leading contenders to replace him.The former Liverpool boss is currently priced at +400 to become Newcastle’s next permanent manager after Howe, making him the second favorite in the market behind Oliver Glasner, who leads the betting at +200.Slot was sacked by Liverpool six days after the end of the Premier League season(Image: Getty)Howe has earned widespread praise since arriving at Newcastle from Bournemouth in 2021.
Under his leadership, the Magpies have qualified for the Champions League on two occasions and ended a 70-year wait for major silverware by lifting the Carabao Cup in 2025.However, Newcastle’s disappointing 12th-place finish last season led to increased scrutiny around his fitness to lead the club going forward.As a result, Howe could face significant pressure to deliver from the jump next year if he is to avoid questions about his future.Even though Slot struggled in his second season in England, he did lead the Reds to the Premier League title in 2024-25, which makes him an attractive option for a club like Newcastle who are hoping to compete for trophies on multiple fronts in the years to come.After Glasner and Slot in the betting odds come former Manchester City, Inter Milan, and Italy boss Roberto Mancini (+800), Coventry City manager Frank Lampard (+1000), and Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna (+1000).This information is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be relied upon for financial reasons or to determine a specific course of action.
