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.
Farewell to Mohamed Salah.
A faintly ridiculous 193 goals and 93 assists in the Premier League. 286 goal involvements in 327 appearances — a record surpassed only by Alan Shearer (324) and Wayne Rooney (311), both of whom made at least 100 more appearances.
The only player to have been named PFA Player of the Year three times.
One of English football’s greatest imports and Africa’s greatest exports. A phenomenon #LFC

Harry Maguire and his family are acting like he is prime Baresi and is being left out of the Italy squad for some no mark. The ego and entitlement is off the charts. No wonder Tuchel didn’t take him.
Manager of the Season.
Manage 15 games at a Manchester United that's spent another trillion ,come on in, your name's on the list.
Manage 3 seasons at Villa, 3 semi finals, 1 final, 2 Champions League qualifications using half a dozen players who played in the Championship, you can't come in.
A decision so laughable that when someday Unai is nominated, I hope he tells them to fuck off.
A mockery of what achievement versus caretaking is.
So @GNev2 has been discussed inside Labour as a possible Andy Burnham replacement - but I'm told it is unclear if he's been approached - so just to ask on here - @GNev2 - any comment?
This was really peculiar from Sam Coates at Sky. He seems increasingly out of his depth. You’d expect this sort of biased breathless hysteria on GB News, not Sky, the rest of whose political team are stellar. A lot of this recently - it isn’t journalism.
Is this trustworthy or is it propaganda and fake news @SamCoatesSky ? Just want to be sure it hasn’t come from Downing Street but is from the PA. Can you clarify please?
I’m told Downing Street IS now going to meet with Labour’s Parliamentary committee.
They have heard from Labour MPs including those who want Keir Starmer to go but don’t want to go public with their criticism
"Arsenal have lived off those scrappy, aggressive goals all season. Blocking keepers, crowding the six-yard box, little nudges here and there. Suddenly, when it happens against them, it’s clear and obvious. Give me a break."
– Joe Hart
🗣️🎙️| Roy Keane on Westham goal disallowed:
“The decision itself shouldn’t be the issue because it was the correct call, but Arsenal have been awarded goals like that several times this season, and I could clearly remember the one against United.”
The inconsistency in Premier League refereeing is becoming an absolute disgrace. It happens almost every match now, and something seriously needs to be done about it.
There wouldn’t have been this much outrage from fans if Arsenal hadn’t benefited from similar goals all season. That’s where the frustration comes from.”
VAR have just potentially decided who wins the title and who gets relegated on a 50/50 subjective decision. What happened to clear and obvious error? Shocking.
Not on their level, miles below it. Not happy at all with how he set up and approached that game. No intent to win the game at all. Not good enough. #lfc
1 - Since 2017-18, Mohamed Salah ranks 1st in the Premier League for:
Goals (189)
Assists (92)
Open Play Chances Created (534)
Shots (1,104)
Shots on Target (480)
Touches in the Opposition Box (2,717)
Relentless.
Bringing the curtain down on an iconic, record breaking career at Liverpool ❤️
Mohamed Salah will leave Anfield at the end of the season having made history by becoming the first 3x PFA Players’ Player of the Year 🏆
Sometimes honesty works against you in modern football.
If Virgil van Dijk throws himself to the floor like Gabriel did in the North London derby , the whistle probably goes. The contact gets magnified. VAR slows it down. The referee is forced into a decision. But he stays on his feet.
He tries to defend honestly. He trusts the game to reward strength, balance, and integrity. And that honesty costs Liverpool because in today’s game, staying up can make it look like nothing happened. No fall. No drama. No foul.
That’s the paradox football says it wants toughness. It says it doesn’t want players going down easily. But the reality? If you don’t go down, you don’t get the call.
So what’s the lesson players learn?
- Don’t be strong.
- Don’t be honest.
- Make sure the referee sees it.
And that’s the part that hurts because sometimes doing the right thing on your feet ends up being the wrong decision on the scoreboard.
