Arne Slotâs future has been brought back into focus after the Merseyside derby victory, while Mo Salahâs successor has reportedly been identified by Liverpool.
Arne Slot expected to continue as Liverpool head coach
It has been a season with little to cheer about for Liverpool, but Slotâs side are edging closer to ensuring they are in the Champions League again next season.
Despite the unrest and disillusionment among the supporter base, Sky Sportsâ Vinny OâConnor, a regular face and voice during Slotâs press conferences, says the Dutchman is âexpected to continueâ in his role next season.
Sky states Slot âis set to retain the support of the hierarchyâ to oversee another summer of change, with doubts âsubsiding rapidlyâ as the European target starts to look realistic.
This follows on from the Athleticâs David Ornstein explaining FSG would âideallyâ like to keep Slot at the helm.
It is at odds with the growing calls for Liverpool to move on, with a lack of identity and connection fracturing the bond between the fans and the man in charge.
It will all come to a head in the summer, and it will become clear then whether reports from Europe â which expect Xabi Alonso to be appointed â or those from England prove right.

Liverpool FC: On this day
It was on April 21, 1962 that Liverpool secured the Second Division title and therefore promotion to the top-flight after eight years away.
In Bill Shanklyâs 100th league game as manager, two goals from Kevin Lewis meant Liverpool won 2-0 at Anfield against Southampton.
Two years later, they would be lifting the First Division, such was the rapid growth the Reds enjoyed under Shankly!
