Arne Slot deserves immense gratitude for delivering a Premier League title, and even more so, for the care and grace he showed while guiding the club through the grief of losing Diogo Jota.
But Liverpool have made the right decision to let him go. Conditions have changed, what they need now is not the same as when he was appointed, and there wasn’t evidence that he could fix the problems nor handle the next phase.
🎂 #OnThisDay I Un día como hoy en 1980 nacía en Liverpool alguien que nos daría su corazón a base de no dejarse vencer día a día, yarda a yarda con la camiseta del @LFC en el pecho.
Muchas felicidades Steven Gerrard.
I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
🚨 Ronaldo Nazário on nearly joining Liverpool FC in 2007:
🗣️ “In 2007, I was very, very close to signing for Liverpool.
It wasn’t just interest—it was serious. I was attracted by everything about the club—the history, the passion of the fans, the energy at Anfield… it’s one of the most special places in football.
Liverpool has something different—identity, intensity, tradition. You don’t just play for Liverpool, you feel it.
But at that time, my manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo spoke to me and convinced me to take another path, which led me to AC Milan.
In football, small decisions change everything.
But I’ve always admired Liverpool—the way they play, the mentality, the connection with the fans.
Honestly, it would have been incredible… because a club like Liverpool matches everything I love about football.”
