Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reflected on the club's disappointing 2025-26 campaign under Arne Slot, admitting that expectations were not met. Speaking on the difficulties of the season, Klopp also offered a stark warning to newly appointed head coach Andoni Iraola, emphasising that long-term success at Anfield will require significant luck alongside tactical brilliance.
The Andoni Iraola era at Liverpool is officially gathering pace as the club begins a significant restructuring of the first-team coaching setup. Following the appointment of the former Bournemouth boss, the Reds have confirmed the departure of three key figures from the previous regime.
Arne Slot has followed Mohamed Salah through the exits at Liverpool, but would the latter have agreed to stay and see out his contract if he knew that the former was going to be sacked? Danny Murphy is not convinced that was ever the case, with the ex-Reds midfielder telling GOAL how the Egyptian King’s powers had faded to the point that a fresh start was probably the best option for all concerned.
Former Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has rejected an opening approach from Fulham to become their next first-team manager.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has expressed his complete surprise at the club's abrupt decision to sack manager Arne Slot following a highly disappointing campaign. The veteran defender revealed that the hierarchy did not consult him before parting ways with the Dutch tactician, learning about the sudden dismissal only after the news had leaked to the media on Saturday.
Liverpool are advancing in talks to appoint former Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola as their new manager following the dismissal of Arne Slot. Anfield sporting director Richard Hughes is spearheading the negotiations, with the club determined to finalise the agreement and make a formal announcement before the World Cup begins on June 11.
Liverpool have deemed goalkeeper Alisson untouchable this summer despite the uncertainty following the official sacking of head coach Arne Slot from Anfield.

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.
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.
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.

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.
