Arne Slot is âexpected to continueâ as Liverpool head coach next season, claim Sky Sports, with the Dutchman set to achieve the âbare minimumâ target.
Liverpool took a step closer to securing Champions League football with their 2-1 win over Everton on Sunday, on a weekend that saw Chelsea drop more points to Man United.
But there remains a growing unrest around Slotâs position as head coach, with supporters increasingly agreed in their stance that he should leave the club.
However, Sky Sportsâ Vinny OâConnor reports on Tuesday that he is âexpected to continueâ in his leading role heading into next season.
Doubts over Slot are claimed to be âsubsiding rapidlyâ as Liverpool near their âbare minimumâ objective of qualifying for the Champions League via their Premier League placing.
âSlot is set to retain the support of the hierarchy ahead of a summer in which more work is expected to be done to the squad following the announcement Mo Salah will be leaving,â Sky Sportsâ report reads.
âRB Leipzigâs Yan Diomande is among their top targets for a new forward while several other positions are also being looked at.â
This follows wider messaging from local and national journalists that Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group retain their faith in Slot despite a miserable second season.
However, it is certainly not emphatic, with âexpected to continueâ far from confirmation that a head coach with only year left on his contract this summer is safe in his job.
Speaking on the latest edition of The Athletic FC Podcast, leading journalist David Ornstein added to this by explaining that âideallyâ FSG would like to keep Slot.
âThe ownership there ideally want to stick with Arne Slot despite huge public conjecture over whether heâs the man to lead them forward,â Ornstein said on Monday.
âThe only name people seem to come up with is Xabi Alonso, but the suggestions are that heâs not on Liverpoolâs radar.
âItâs all well and good being dissatisfied with the person youâve got, but who should you bring in to replace him?â
Reports in Germany have previously claimed that Alonso would be open to taking the position and that there was in fact interest from Anfield in the ex-Liverpool midfielder.
