Liverpool is experiencing an unexpected storm at the beginning of this season, marked by results that differ radically from the performance the club showed last season, when Arne Slot managed to win the Premier League in his debut.

Liverpool invested over 400 million in top-tier signings like Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez, a bet that was meant to elevate the team's competitiveness. However, the reality shows the opposite: six defeats in twelve Premier League matches and a painful loss against PSV at Anfield in the Champions League have put the Dutch coach on the brink of dismissal.

Liverpool Considers Dismissing Arne Slot

Liverpool's board believes that the project has lost emotional and tactical solidity. They feel Arne Slot failed to handle the pressure or translate the investment into results, leading the club to hold mediocre positions both in the league and in Europe, where they have gathered nine points in five matches. There's a sense within the club that the disconnect between the squad and the coach is evident, and keeping him could deepen the crisis at a crucial point in the season.

Arne Slot was confident that the arrival of impactful signings would give him room to impose his style, but recent dynamics show that the group is not responding, defensive mechanisms break easily, and Liverpool has lost the aggressiveness that characterized them. The pressure from the stands is also mounting, especially after witnessing the team drop points against theoretically weaker opponents, a sign that hastened the search for alternatives.

The Candidates: Klopp, Iraola, and Postecoglou

Liverpool is already considering three candidates with very distinct profiles to replace Arne Slot, starting with Jürgen Klopp, a legendary figure at the club whose potential return excites the fans. Klopp won the Premier League and the Champions League with Liverpool, left an indelible legacy, and maintains a close relationship with the board, making preliminary discussions easier to assess if he would be willing to embark on a new cycle. His comeback is seen as the safest way to rebuild the team's competitive identity, but it depends on his readiness after two seasons away from Anfield.

The second candidate is Andoni Iraola, a Spanish coach who impressed at Bournemouth for his ability to modernize a modest team and compete with highly elaborated tactical structures. Liverpool sees in Iraola a coach capable of boosting the squad's development, enhancing ball circulation, organizing pressure, and reviving players who are not at their best. His profile aligns with the long-term project the institution desires.

Postecoglou as an Option

The third alternative is Ange Postecoglou, a coach who combines an offensive approach, bravery, and a defined style, despite his inconsistent spells at Tottenham and Nottingham Forest. Liverpool believes that, although risky, his attractive style could revitalize the team if he manages to find stability, something he hasn't achieved lately but demonstrated in previous stages of his career.

Liverpool Needs an Immediate Decision

Liverpool understands that maintaining Arne Slot compromises the immediate future and that decisions cannot be delayed because the club faces a real risk of falling out of the European race and devaluing a multimillion-dollar investment.

The choice between Jürgen Klopp, Andoni Iraola, or Ange Postecoglou will set the course for the club in the upcoming years. The board realizes that only a leader with authority, tactical clarity, and the ability to unite the squad can bring stability back to a project that, otherwise, might break prematurely. Anfield awaits a decisive change to reinvigorate the season and restore Liverpool to the position demanded by its history.
