Liverpool have parted company with head coach Arne Slot after a trophy-less season, the Premier League confirmed on Saturday afternoon.T1 - Premier League official
The decision follows a campaign in which Liverpool finished outside the top four and exited both domestic cups before the quarter-final stage. Slot, who took charge in the summer of 2024, was informed of the board’s decision on Friday evening. A farewell letter to supporters, posted through the Premier League’s official channels, confirmed his departure and thanked fans for their backing across the season.
Liverpool’s hierarchy is understood to have begun the search for a successor immediately, with no interim appointment yet confirmed. The club’s sporting director and recruitment team are expected to lead the process, drawing up a shortlist before the end of the transfer window period.
The vacancy arrives amid a period of wider squad uncertainty at Anfield. Centre-back Ibrahima Konate is expected to leave the club this summer, according to the same Premier League update that confirmed Slot’s departure, adding defensive restructuring to the incoming manager’s list of priorities.
No formal approach has been made to any candidate at the time of writing. Liverpool are expected to issue a full club statement on Sunday morning, outlining the next steps in the process and any interim coaching arrangements for pre-season.
