Struggling Premier League boss will be surprise contender to replace Arne Slot One struggling Premier League coach will inevitably be in the frame to replace Arne Slot . Liverpool's boss is struggling, too. Liverpool could turn away from Arne Slot at the end of the season as their campaign continues to go off the rails.
Slot will have just one year remaining on his deal - and the pressure has never been higher. Really, Jurgen Klopp was never under this much pressure. Brendan Rodgers certainly was, though he had nothing remotely like the summer spend behind him that Slot had.
Though, of course, Slot does have that Premier League title to his name and that naturally buys him a lot of time. Missing out of UEFA Champions League qualification would almost certainly end that time, and the defeat to Brighton on Saturday highlighted what a real possibility that is. So if Slot did leave, who could come in?
Xabi Alonso is the favourite for the role though we would exercise caution there - Manchester City's job may well be up for grabs, too, and they have the money to make it difficult to turn down as a project. How about a different contender, then? There's one in the Premier League right now and like it or not, he'll be under consideration.
