Arne Slot to stay at Liverpool despite Ajax interest
Key Points
  • Arne Slot remains at Liverpool despite Ajax interest
  • Ajax enquiry was turned away
  • Liverpool hierarchy supports Slot

Slot, who is contracted to Liverpool until 2027, has no desire to join Ajax at this point in his managerial career, sources said. Liverpool's hierarchy are firmly behind Slot and intend to give him time to improve results. The Reds are fourth in the table, 18 points behind leaders Arsenal, after a 3-2 defeat to Manchester United.

According to Daily Express - Sport, former Liverpool star Didi Hamann said he has heard that Slot will be there next season and described the fan base as split on the manager's future.

I've heard that Arne Slot will be there next season. I think there's a case to be made that maybe a change of manager should happen or should have happened. But Liverpool have always been very loyal to their managers. He won the league last season of course so I think it's a decision I can live with, and I think most fans can live with, if they have a decent finish to the season. Then obviously, you need to see what's happening in the summer after the World Cup with players going, obviously Andy Robertson leaving, Mohamed Salah leaving. But yeah, I think it's a decision that is understandable. For probably the first time in a long time Liverpool fans are split, it's a very knowledgeable fan base and Liverpool doesn't usually sack managers. That's obviously changed in the last 10 or 12 years because the game has changed and managers have to leave quicker than they did 20 or 25 years ago. But usually when the fan base turns, it's a matter of time before the manager has to go. Now with Arne Slot, I think it's split because of what he's done last season. I think it's probably the first time in a long time that it's as split as it's ever been.
