Reporting on Sunday after Liverpool’s 4-0 FA Cup capitulation against Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter final, Paul Joyce summarised the looming decision FSG must make over Arne Slot’s future. The Dutch coach oversaw Liverpool’s 15th defeat of the season – something that hasn’t happened since Roy Hodgson was in charge of the club.

Liverpool have now been eliminated from every domestic silverware hunt, and with a Champions League quarter-final against PSG this week, all hope of progressing in Europe has been vanquished. While Joyce alludes to the fact that FSG could sack Slot imminently, there are still many reporters who suggest the Dutchman could retain his role into the 2026/27 season.

“Liverpool are saying the opposite at the moment, they’re saying they fully back the manager, but the fact is, it’s been made very clear they’ve got to qualify for the Champions League.” BBC journalist Sam Drury insists that Liverpool are still backing Slot and that no imminent sacking is coming. He says: Drury said: “There remains no indication that the club are planning to get rid of Slot, either now or at the end of the season.” Mitigating circumstances do not explain the issues Liverpool are facing In the summer of 2025, Liverpool tragically received news that Diogo Jota and his brother had perished in a road accident.
