Steven Gerrard spoke about Liverpool's sacking of Arne Slot before the Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-GermainSteven Gerrard is 'gutted' for Arne Slot but 'not surprised' at Liverpool's sacking of their head coach. Taking the reins from Jurgen Klopp, that was a tough task and big shoes to fill, and he had done it seamlessly."It's very difficult to win the Premier League, and I know that more than most, so for him to deliver that in year one cannot be forgotten, so I think he will go down in the history books and be remembered forever."Having said that, in the last ten games of last season and the majority of this season, we have not looked like Liverpool.

It looks disjointed, broken, and when I got the news, of course, your initial reaction is surprise and shock, but when you analyse it properly, it's probably the right time in my opinion."Gerrard added: "Well, look, I think we've all been around the game long enough to know how the ‘process’ works, and I would be very surprised if they made that decision and all of a sudden thought ‘well, who are we going to appoint next?’ Liverpool don’t work like that. Speaking about whether the outgoing Bournemouth coach would be the right man, Gerrard said: “Potentially, yes."I think he has done a fabulous job at Bournemouth.

I think his style would suit Liverpool. Let's not beat around the bush, Liverpool Football Club is an attractive job for a lot of elite managers around the world, so I don't think he will be the only name on the table." But because of the link to Bournemouth and the guys that have come from Bournemouth to Liverpool in terms of board level, they will know him very well.
