Liverpool news

Arne Slot has bid a heartfelt farewell to Liverpool supporters after his two-year spell at Anfield came to an abrupt end. Despite leading the club to their 20th league title and securing Champions League qualification, the Dutchman was relieved of his duties following a fifth-place finish this season.

And there we have it. The 2025-26 European football season is in the books, capped by Paris Saint-Germain beating Arsenal in the Champions League final to defend their continental crown. Soon the past nine months or so will become distant memories, such is the speed at which the footballing world moves on, especially when major tournaments on the horizon.

Victor Osimhen is once again at the centre of a global transfer scramble following a major admission from the Nigerian national team camp. After a prolific spell in Turkey with Galatasaray, the former Napoli superstar appears ready to make his next career move, with the Premier League and Serie A clubs on high alert.

The European club season drew to a dramatic conclusion on Saturday, with Paris Saint-Germain defeating Arsenal on penalties to retain their Champions League crown. Not since Real Madrid nearly a decade ago had anyone successfully defended the title, making his a truly momentous night for Luis Enrique's men. However, defeat shouldn't take any of the shine off Arsenal's historic campaign, with the Gunners having won the Premier League for the first time in 22 years.

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has weighed in on the club's search for a new manager, suggesting Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has the perfect tactical identity to succeed at Anfield. However, the former Reds captain warned that the Spaniard will face stiff competition for one of the biggest jobs in world football following Arne Slots' sacking.

The Champions League final. It's the biggest match on the club calendar in football, always featuring historic clubs and so often the best players on the planet at that moment. Sometimes, it lives up to expectation in the most extraordinary fashion. Sometimes, sadly, it just doesn't. Either way, there is usually drama, as was the case in Saturday's final as Paris Saint-Germain beat Arsenal on penalties.

Arne Slot looks set for an immediate return to the dugout following his dismissal at Liverpool. The Dutchman, who memorably led the Reds to the Premier League title just one year ago, is already being lined up for one of the biggest jobs in European football.

Saturday afternoon's news that Liverpool had sacked Arne Slot unquestionably came as a shock - not because it was the wrong decision, but because very few people actually thought that they'd do it. After being forced to sit through one of the worst title defences in Premier League history, Reds fans had lost as much faith in the club as they had the coach.

Bayer Leverkusen has not yet officially parted ways with Kasper Hjulmand. Nevertheless, it is widely believed that the club will be looking for a new manager. However, the search for a suitable coach could well turn into a fiasco at the moment.

Teddy Sheringham believes Liverpool were right to part ways with Arne Slot after a disappointing campaign. The former Manchester United striker claimed a "toxic vibe" was developing around Anfield and warned that keeping Slot would have risked wasting another season.

Arne Slot has broken his silence and sent a direct message to Liverpool supporters just minutes after his shock sacking was officially confirmed by the club. The Dutch tactician has parted ways with the Premier League giants after a two-year tenure, following a disappointing second season that saw the Reds fail to secure any silverware.

Liverpool are set to appoint Andoni Iraola as their next manager following the departure of Arne Slot. The Reds have moved swiftly to identify the Spaniard as their preferred candidate, with negotiations expected to progress quickly.
