Will Arne Slot be sacked? Liverpool boss under pressure after PSV defeat as reports emerge of 'crisis meeting' at Liverpool today
Arne Slot insists he is not worried about his own future - despite reports that a crisis meeting will be held at Anfield today.
Liverpool’s dismal season took a further turn for the worse last night with a 4-1 home defeat by PSV Eindhoven. It means it is nine defeats in the last 12 matches for the defending English league champions.
Slot said: “I am feeling safe, I am OK. I have got a lot of support from above. It would be nice to turn it around and get a victory of course but if you are not doing well then it is normal that questions are asked.
“I am OK with my position. It is not the first time I’ve been in a difficult position but it is about time that we turned it around.
“I’m not worried. What I mean by that is my focus is on other things than on my own position. I need to do better and that’s what I’m trying to do every single day.”
However, football news site Indykaila is reporting otherwise.
In a post last night on X, it says that its Anfield sources have told its reporters that Liverpool will hold an emergency meeting today (Thursday) “to discuss the pressing issue of the team's poor performance and the future of manager Arne Slot”.
Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group’s football CEO Michael Edwards and the club’s sporting director Richard Hughes will be there, says Indykaila. It said: “This is a critical moment for the club. High-level officials from FSG are ready to make tough decisions, including the potential removal of Arne Slot, despite the initial plan to give him until January. The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated; the team's struggles may force their hand sooner than expected.”
