Liverpool’s traveling supporters sent a strong message of support for Arne Slot during the Reds’ visit to the San Siro, making it clear that the Dutch manager still enjoys the backing of the fanbase.
According to Times Sport journalist Hamzah Khalique-Loonat, Liverpool fans were chanting Slot’s name as early as the 10th minute of the match, showing their loyalty despite recent turmoil surrounding Mohamed Salah.
This public show of support comes in the wake of Salah’s explosive remarks following Liverpool’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United, which have divided opinion among fans and pundits alike.

Salah’s Comments Stir Debate
Salah’s rare media appearance after the Leeds clash sparked a flurry of reactions online. Some critics have suggested that Slot may have unfairly singled out the Egyptian forward, while others argued that Salah’s recent performances haven’t always warranted automatic inclusion in the starting XI.

Fan Support for Slot
The chants at the San Siro underline that a significant portion of Liverpool’s traveling supporters still have faith in the manager. While fan opinion is never the final factor in managerial decisions, it reinforces Slot’s standing within the club — at least for now.

Is Salah in the Wrong?
It’s understandable that Salah would be frustrated at limited involvement over recent weeks. After all, he remains one of Liverpool’s all-time greats.
However, it’s also fair to point out that the forward hasn’t been at his absolute best this season.
Recent Champions League Stats:
2024/25: 0.56 xG | 0.38 non-penalty xG | 1.67 chances created | 8.02 touches in the opposition box
2025/26: 0.47 xG | 0.47 non-penalty xG | 2.87 chances created | 7.74 touches in the opposition box
While Salah has thrived more in European competitions, partly due to playing styles that suit Liverpool, expressing dissatisfaction publicly during a challenging period for the team was arguably ill-timed.

Slot’s Position Remains Secure
Despite Salah’s comments, the club hierarchy continues to back Arne Slot. The fans’ chants at the San Siro send a clear signal: Slot remains in charge, and his role isn’t in immediate jeopardy.
That could spell difficulties for Salah, whose future at Anfield remains uncertain if tensions with the manager persist. For now, however, Slot retains the confidence of both the supporters and Liverpool’s decision-makers.
