Successor already discussed. Slot to leave Liverpool this summer

The future of Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has all but been decided—the specialist is likely to leave the club at the end of the current season, according to MatchDay Central.

It's noted that Slot himself is aware of the potential departure this summer. Despite mounting pressure, Liverpool’s management has chosen not to make a coaching change mid-season, showing respect for his experience and giving him the opportunity to finish the campaign on a high note.
