Liverpool’s recent slump has intensified uncertainty around Arne Slot’s future, with reports suggesting the club may turn to Steven Gerrard as a short-term replacement if results do not improve. The Reds have dropped six of their last nine league games, failing to build momentum even after a brief win against West Ham. A 3-3 draw with Leeds, sealed by a stoppage-time equaliser, added to growing frustration.
Slot remains publicly confident, but the pressure escalated after a 4-1 Champions League defeat to PSV, where home supporters voiced their displeasure. Behind the scenes, Gerrard is reportedly being considered for an interim role. His return would carry emotional weight, given his legacy at the club and his managerial experience with Rangers, Aston Villa and Al-Ettifaq.
Liverpool are also monitoring Julian Nagelsmann as a longer-term option. Meanwhile, tension between Slot and Mohamed Salah has become a major talking point, with the forward starting three straight matches on the bench and suggesting their relationship has deteriorated.
With results wavering and internal strain growing, the club faces a decisive period that could determine whether Slot remains or a change is imminent
