The narrative appeared to be shifting, however, as Liverpool’s form picked up at a crucial stage of the campaign while rivals like Chelsea are faltering.David Ornstein reported last week that Fenway Sports Group are expected to stick to their guns regarding the Dutch manager.Now Sky Sports are issuing a similar update, claiming that the likelihood of playing Champions League football at Anfield next season has strengthen his case to remain at the club:“Arne Slot is expected to continue as Liverpool head coach next season, Sky Sports News understands, as the club close in on Champions League qualification.”“Any doubts about the Dutchman’s future appear to be subsiding rapidly as a seven-point gap has opened up between Liverpool in fifth place and Chelsea in sixth.”“Fifth place will secure Champions League football next season after Arsenal’s progression to the semi-finals – and Liverpool’s form has picked up while Chelsea are slipping.”“Slot is set to retain the support of the hierarchy ahead of a summer in which more work is expected to be done to the squad following the announcement Mo Salah will be leaving. ”For Liverpool, the summer ahead was always going to be one of significant transition regardless of what happened in the final weeks of this season.The departure of Mohamed Salah leaves a void that no single signing is realistically going to fill overnight. It will require a collective rebuild, and the expectation is that Slot will be given the backing to do exactly that.
