Liverpool parted ways with head coach Arne Slot immediately after a post-season review of their poor 2025/26 campaign, where they finished fifth with just 60 points—their lowest Premier League total in a decade—and endured 19 defeats across all competitions.

Owners called it a difficult decision, praising his contributions while seeking a return to aggressive football; Andoni Iraola emerges as the leading candidate to replace him.
