"According to the report, pressure is continuing to mount on Slot's position beyond this season, and he is set to face increasing scrutiny in the summer regardless of how the current season ends. Defeat to the league's basement club Wolves this week saw fans turn on the Dutchman once again, with a large group of the fan base calling on him to be sacked immediately."
"The club's senior officials have always backed Slot publicly, but there is concern behind the scenes about his performance, and FSG are prepared to hold talks once the season comes to an end, with it now widely considered to be unlikely that they end the campaign with any silverware, despite still being in both the Champions League and FA Cup."
"But performances are a major concern, and FSG have identified former midfielder Xabi Alonso as their perfect candidate to replace him if they decide to make a change."
Liverpool face a disappointing season after winning the Premier League title and investing £440m in transfers. Currently sixth in the table, three points behind third place, the club struggles to secure Champions League qualification. Manager Arne Slot faces mounting pressure and criticism following a defeat to bottom-placed Wolves. While club officials publicly support Slot, internal concerns about his performance and tactics have prompted FSG to plan summer discussions about his future. The club considers it unlikely Liverpool will win silverware this season despite remaining in the Champions League and FA Cup. FSG has identified former midfielder Xabi Alonso as a potential replacement if they decide to make a managerial change.
