Liverpool’s recent struggles have raised plenty of eyebrows across the football world — but despite the dip in results, Arne Slot is still receiving strong backing from the club’s ownership group, according to reports from Football Insider.
The Reds have endured a worrying slide, losing six of their last seven Premier League matches. That run has pushed them 11 points behind league leaders Arsenal and sparked growing questions about Slot’s position in the dugout.
Pressure Mounts After Forest Defeat
A disappointing 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest over the weekend dropped Liverpool to 12th place, further increasing external pressure on the Dutch manager. Many fans feared that such a result might trigger drastic action from the board.
However, sources suggest there are no immediate plans to sack Slot, as the club’s US-based owners still believe he can steady the ship.
Crucial Fixture Run Ahead
Liverpool now face a packed and decisive stretch of matches, with eight games scheduled in the final 31 days of 2025. This period is expected to play a major role in determining how the rest of the season unfolds — and possibly Slot’s future.
Among the key fixtures:
PSV (Champions League) – Wednesday, 26 November
West Ham United (Premier League)
Sunderland (Premier League)
Leeds United (Premier League)
Club chiefs are said to be closely monitoring performances over this run, expecting visible improvement as the season approaches the new year.
Why Slot Still Has Leeway
One major factor working in Slot’s favour is his remarkable debut season, during which Liverpool won the Premier League title with a 10-point cushion over Arsenal. Historically, the club has shown patience with managers and rarely opts for mid-season dismissals.
That reputation for stability is helping Slot — for now.
Coaching Staff Changes Could Be Coming
While Slot’s job appears safe in the short term, there could be movement behind the scenes. Giovanni van Bronckhorst — who arrived in the summer as part of Slot’s coaching team — is reportedly under consideration for the Indonesia national team job following Patrick Kluivert’s departure.
The Indonesian FA is searching for a new head coach after missing out on the 2026 World Cup, and Van Bronckhorst’s name has been linked to the vacancy. His exit would leave another gap in Slot’s backroom staff at a critical moment.

Final Thoughts
Liverpool’s owners are standing by Arne Slot for now, but the message is clear: results must improve, and quickly. With a congested schedule and growing pressure, the coming weeks could define Liverpool’s season — and determine whether Slot remains the man to lead the Reds forward.
