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.

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.

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.
