Following in the footsteps of Chelsea and Manchester United, Liverpool is set to change their head coach at the start of 2026. The English champions' management is dissatisfied with the team's recent performances and is planning to part ways with Arne Slot.
According to Topskills Sports UK, the Reds are expected to announce the departure of the Dutch manager in the very near future. The 47-year-old coach has reportedly lost the trust of the club's hierarchy, and discussions about his successor are already underway behind the scenes.
On Liverpool's shortlist is Xabi Alonso, who is said to be keen on taking charge of the Merseyside giants. The Spaniard left Real Madrid just a few days ago, but rumors suggest he is ready to return to work immediately rather than waiting for the summer break.
