Liverpool’s primary target to succeed Arne Slot following the surprising Jurgen Klopp development

Liverpool’s troubling streak of results persisted on Wednesday night, intensifying the pressure on Arne Slot as the club’s management considers potential replacements, both for the short and long term.

The Dutch manager is facing significant scrutiny after overseeing nine defeats in the last 12 matches. Slot achieved Premier League success in his debut season, but his second year has proven to be far more difficult, with mounting pressure.

Slot asserts that he still has the support of the American owners; however, they are preparing for the worst and have identified the PSG manager as their preferred long-term candidate.

The Spaniard has performed exceptionally in Paris, leading the French team to their first Champions League title last season.

This achievement was part of a treble-winning campaign, marking the second time Enrique has accomplished this feat. He previously did so in 2015 while managing Barcelona, where he also secured the Champions League as part of the treble.

Remarkably, Liverpool might consider Jurgen Klopp for the managerial position on a temporary basis if they decide to dismiss Slot.

The German, currently the Global Head of Soccer for Red Bull, would likely be asked to step in only until the season concludes, as Enrique is not expected to leave mid-season.

Slot claims he has maintained communication with the club’s executives throughout this challenging period of results, which has arguably reached new lows this week.

They were shocked at Anfield by Nottingham Forest on Saturday, suffering a 3-0 defeat, and things deteriorated further on Wednesday with a 4-1 Champions League defeat at home to PSV.

The Sun reports that discussions have also occurred among Liverpool’s executives, who are increasingly worried that he is losing the support of the players.

Slot invested an astonishing £426 million on new players during the summer but has struggled to establish a winning strategy or settle on a consistent starting eleven.

The manager of Liverpool acknowledges that, considering the results they have achieved, discussions regarding his future are inevitable.

However, he is assured that the higher-ups have faith in his ability to turn things around. His future may depend on the club’s forthcoming matches against West Ham, Sunderland, and Leeds.

The Dutch coach remarked: “It would be great to reverse the situation and secure a win. However, when you are a coach and results are not favorable, it is natural for questions to arise.

After experiencing multiple losses, people begin to discuss the situation. I have received considerable support from the management. I am comfortable in my role.

They don’t reach out every minute to express their confidence in me, but during our regular conversations, I sense their trust.”
