Report: Current Premier League boss would be ‘among the candidates’ to replace Slot at Liverpool
One current Premier League head coach would reportedly be ‘among the candidates’ to replace Arne Slot at Liverpool if the Dutchman were to be removed from his position.
The 47-year-old’s job has come under intense scrutiny in recent months amid a bitterly disappointing season at Anfield, with some former Reds players openly questioning whether he’s the right man for the role.
FSG seem set to keep faith with the ex-Feyenoord boss into the 2026/27 campaign, but if that stance were to alter and they decide that a change in the dugout is necessary, one of Slot’s English top-flight peers is apparently on their wish list.
Iraola would be ‘considered’ as a potential Slot replacement
According to Mark Douglas for The i Paper, Andoni Iraola ‘would be among the candidates considered’ by Liverpool if the Anfield hierarchy were to dispense with their current head coach, following on from reports last month that he’s very much admired by LFC sporting director Richard Hughes.
The 43-year-old is leaving Bournemouth at the end of this season and is set to be one of the most sought-after coaches over the summer, with Chelsea understood to be eyeing him as their next permanent boss.
