Slot has overseen a significant decline in form this season
Liverpool have already decided whether they will part company with manager Arne Slot this summer, according to Sky Sports News.
Despite leading the Redmen to only their second ever Premier League title last season, Slot has lost a lot of good feeling with the club’s supporters this campaign, after failing to seriously defend their champions status, even after spending more £400 million on new acquisitions.
Although not helped by serious injuries to Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, the Reds are 15 points behind league leaders Arsenal, a decline which many have attributed to Slot.
In the past few weeks, there have been serious suggestions that Liverpool could opt to replace the Dutchman with Xabi Alonso.
Alonso was fired from his role as Real Madrid manager in January, and is a popular figure in Merseyside, having represented the Reds as a player.

According to Sky Sports, the Liverpool hierarchy mean to look past that the pressure on Slot, allowing him on continue at Anfield into next season.
This comes as a result of the rallying at Liverpool over the past month, in which they’ve managed to make themselves favourites to secure a Champions League qualification place.
Due to the English league’s positive European co-efficient, the Premier League will now have five UCL qualification places, and the Reds are clear favourites to finish 5th at the end of the current campaign.
So long as Liverpool maintain their position over the final five matchweeks, it seems clear that Slot will stay on as manager.
