Liverpool’s 2025/26 season marked a big drop after the league title and a summer in which they spent more than 400 million euros on reinforcements, setting an English record. The team fell short of the top, remained without laurels in domestic cups, and at the end of the season, the club deemed that they needed a new direction of action. In a club statement, Sloto’s contribution was described as “significant and meaningful”, but added that the change was necessary for further progress.
The fans resented Slot’s attitude towards the club’s legend Mohamed Salah in his last season at Anfield, he often raised dust with strange statements at press conferences.
