ESPN Soccer reports that Liverpool have confirmed head coach Arne Slot will leave the club with immediate effect.
The Dutchman led the Reds to the Premier League title in his first season at the club in 2024-25 but was unable to replicate that success this term, with the club finishing the campaign in fifth place.
Liverpool's hierarchy continued to back Slot throughout a turbulent season -- including during a period when his side lost nine out of 12 games in all competitions -- but sources told ESPN the feeling inside Anfield was that change was inevitable this summer.
Slot's brand of football has been widely criticized for being too pedestrian this term and sources told ESPN the club is targeting a more attack-minded, aggressive style of play.
The decision to sack Slot was a reluctant one, with the Liverpool hierarchy appreciative of the scale of his achievement after replacing Jurgen Klopp in the dugout in the summer of 2024.
However, sources told ESPN the club believe a managerial change will give Liverpool the best chance of success moving forward, with the search for his successor underway.
