Arne Slot in an open letter to @LivEchoLFC:
"As I leave this club, it would be remiss of me not to say that the way you honoured Diogo and stood together in his memory will stay with me for ever."
Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way.
He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.
🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE: ARNE SLOT AND LIVERPOOL TO PART WAYS WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. 💣
It’s over between the Dutch manager and Liverpool after end of the season review. 👋🏼
Andoni Iraola, clear favorite to take over as next #LFC head coach.
🚨 Steven Gerrard after Liverpool’s loss against Aston Villa:
🗣️ “That performance was unacceptable for a club of Liverpool’s size, especially after spending close to £500 million in the summer.
With that level of investment, you should be fighting for major trophies not struggling just to stay in the top four.
The team looks lost. There’s no clear identity, no consistency, and honestly I don’t understand what the tactical direction is supposed to be anymore.
What worries me most is the idea of carrying these same problems into next season and hoping things suddenly improve.
Liverpool standards are much bigger than this. Sometimes football forces clubs into difficult decisions, and if this continues, maybe it’s time for both sides to move on before next season.”
Mohamed Salah’s message to everyone at the club:
“I remember when I came here first, I think nobody was working before training. I’m not saying nobody was working but Millie, Adam, and Sadio were working after training, if I’m mistaken please forgive me for that… but I came I want to work before training, I want to work after training. I want to work all the time and then they [the players] also work before training. This is the thing that always makes me happy. This is something that makes me so proud and something if I’m being very honest because I love this place so much, I have my best years… I really want the guys to continue like that [and work all the time].
“I always tell Dom [Szoboszlai], if you win the Premier League every year, you take nothing from me. Just like I done my thing here. But I want the guys to succeed here, I want the club to be there. And this is one of my main concerns. I spoke to a member of staff, I spoke also to guys up there, I told them when I leave, you need an example here. You need people to come early to the gym and people look at them ‘Oh he go to the gym, so I need to go.’ If that didn’t happen or doesn’t happen I think it will be tricky for this club because it’s something very very necessary. You put the standard high, like people have to come early. People have to go gym. People have to look after themselves and I don’t want that to change after I leave or anything. I just want to have that standard at the club because it’s very important for the team to keep winning things and this is one of my main concerns for me.”
