What they're saying
"

Liverpool's ownership has issued a joint statement confirming the decision to dismiss head coach Arne Slot. The contribution Arne has made to Liverpool FC in the time that he has been with us has been significant, meaningful and – most importantly of all to supporters and ourselves – successful. This was evident when he agreed to take over as head coach, when he guided us to the Premier League title and throughout the season just ended when he faced considerable challenges and burdens.

"

Arne Slot is leaving Liverpool with immediate effect, and the call will inevitably divide opinion at Anfield. Liverpool have confirmed the Dutchman’s departure after two seasons in charge, with the process to appoint a successor now under way.

"

Arne Slot's tenure at Liverpool felt untenable until, on Saturday, he was finally dismissed as manager. While it didn't end well, he should be remembered warmly for his work succeeding a club legend in Jurgen Klopp.
