Arne Slot is unlikely to be sacked as Liverpool’s head coach if they are knocked out of the Champions League next week, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke. The Reds are 1-0 down to Galatasaray heading into next Wednesday’s second leg at Anfield, with the pressure on Slot and his players.

For the Dutchman, he continues to battle to save his job, and he will know that going far in the Champions League will only aid his chances of remaining in charge beyond the summer. Speaking to Football Insider, O’Rourke claimed that a decision won’t be made with Slot next week, even if Liverpool are eliminated by Galatasaray: “It’ll definitely ramp up the pressure on him.

“They’re in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, they hope to make progress in the Champions League, and then it’s all about finishing in the top five in the Premier League. So yeah, it’s a difficult time for Slot, but I don’t think any result next week against Galatasaray will have an immediate impact on his future.” What will be enough for Arne Slot to save his job?
