Overview
- Liverpool announced it had ended its relationship with Arne Slot on Saturday, May 30, saying the 2025–26 results were not sufficient despite recent success under his tenure.
- Local reports say the club is fast‑tracking Andoni Iraola as its preferred replacement, with negotiations described as accelerated but not yet officially completed.
- Slot published a farewell letter on the club website thanking staff and supporters and stating he leaves Liverpool 'in the elite of European football.'
- The upheaval has reopened transfer scenarios involving senior players, most notably renewed hope at Juventus for a move for goalkeeper Alisson if the incoming coach confirms he is surplus to requirements.
- Parallel instability is affecting AC Milan and Napoli where Milan continue a casting with Oliver Glasner and Ralf Rangnick linked and Rafael Leao has publicly said he wants a new challenge while Kevin De Bruyne's public criticism of Antonio Conte leaves his Naples future uncertain.
