'Deserves an opportunity': Gary Neville backs Arne Slot to stay at Liverpool despite Alonso’s Chelsea move
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has suggested that Liverpool will keep faith with manager Arne Slot following Xabi Alonso’s appointment at Chelsea. Alonso has put pen to paper on a four-year contract with the Blues and will begin work in the role on July 1 in preparation for the 2025/26 campaign. The Spaniard’s appointment comes a month on from the departure of Liam Rosenior, whose reign in west London was brought to an end after a spell of only 107 days.
Alonso is already taken, so who should be appointed as Liverpool’s new head coach?
///Alonso is already taken, so who should be appointed as Liverpool’s new head coach? Let’s imagine a hypothetical scenario in which, at the end of the season, a decision is made to part ways with Slot due to a lack of progress in the team’s performance, but we already know that Alonso has already agreed terms with Chelsea and is unavailable for appointment. Who should we bring in as the saviour? Iraola, Glasner, Henness, Fabregas? Nagelsmann without pre-season preparation?
It’s time to accept it: Liverpool are heading into the new season with Arne Slot
It is high time to face reality for what it is: the club’s management is not conducting any secret talks with Xabi Alonso and does indeed plan to entrust the team to Arne Slot for next season.

'We postponed that cycle': Slot opens up on Salah and Robertson exits
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has said he and the club’s hierarchy were aware one-and-a-half years ago that difficulties could arise during his reign, even after winning the Premier League in his first season. Slot described the impending departures of Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson as part of a normal end to a successful cycle at the club. The Dutch coach explained that last season’s title success may have delayed this transition.
Arne Slot: 'No regrets over how I handled Mo Salah situation'
Arne Slot has hit back at criticism following Mohamed Salah’s decision to leave Liverpool, insisting: “I have no regrets about how I handled the situation.” The Liverpool boss made his stance clear, adding: “It’s completely his own decision to leave,” and stressing: “He should explain why he wants to go.” Salah had previously expressed frustration over his role, saying he felt “not valued” and hinting at a breakdown in his relationship with Slot during the season.
Liverpool planning huge summer clearout with Gakpo, Mac Allister, and Robertson among those set to leave – reports
Liverpool are preparing for a dramatic squad overhaul this summer, with SunSport reporting that Cody Gakpo, Alexis Mac Allister, Federico Chiesa, and Joe Gomez will all be made available for sale — while Andy Robertson is set to depart after captaining Scotland at the World Cup. The scale of the rebuild is significant. Ibrahima Konate's contract expires on June 1 and Liverpool have all but given up on keeping the France centre-back, while Mohamed Salah's departure is already confirmed.
