New clue emerges over FSG's crucial Arne Slot decision It’s been a tough season for Arne Slot. The Liverpool head coach got off to the best possible start - winning the Premier League title at the first time of asking. But this campaign has been very different.

Richard Hughes oversaw £450m worth of spending in last summer’s transfer window - breaking the British transfer record twice. It’s been to little avail however with the Anfield side crashing out of both domestic cups and being eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain from the Champions League. Arne Slot will requalify his team for the Champions League - thanks to a Chelsea collapse - but it’s fair to say it hasn’t gone as planned.

Accordingly it’s been suggested that Fenway Sports Group might take a decision on the 47-year-old’s future come the end of the season. With Liverpool undershooting their expectations - and Slot under contract only until 2027 - it has been mooted that a change could be made. Arne Slot gets ready to appoint trusted deputy Local reporters are steadfast in their belief that the Dutchman will remain in charge with FSG prioritising stability for the season ahead.
