Anfield officials have moved swiftly to solidify Arne Slot‘s position as head coach for the upcoming season, despite a newly-leaked report revealing the club heavily weighed up replacing him.
According to data uncovered from an end-of-season strategic review, FSG conducted due diligence on Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola during Liverpool’s turbulent spring slump.
Ultimately, Slot’s power on Merseyside has been reinforced after successfully securing a fifth-place finish and a subsequent Champions League berth on the final day.
To further back the Dutchman, Liverpool have confirmed that former Feyenoord coach Etienne Reijnen will join the backroom staff this summer.
While Slot’s behaviour, sitting alone on the bench during the post-match lap of honour on Sunday, initially divided fan opinion, the hierarchy is steadfast in their message that no change is being considered.
