FSG's Steven Gerrard WARNING to Arne Slot

Arne Slot has been suffering in his role as Liverpool head coach this season.

The Dutchman - appointed ahead of the 2024-25 campaign - got off to the best possible start at Anfield. The 47-year-old won the Premier League title in his first season in charge - leading the Reds to their 20th top-flight crown overall.

But no longer does it appear that Slot has got the magic formula. Liverpool have been languishing in midtable amid a run of incredibly poor form - sliding from their perch and looking like outsiders to retain their title.

Slot - under contract until 2027 - has had his position questioned in recent weeks amid suggestions that Liverpool may well be considering a head coach change.

It would cost sporting director Richard Hughes and FSG somewhere in the region of £8m to sack Slot and his staff - and a lack of alternatives on the market may well be strengthening the former Feyenoord manager’s position.

Arne Slot's difficult second season

However the story could change next summer when it is likely that a bigger number of managers are available. And there is a report which suggest that Liverpool are ready to consider a caretaker role until the end of the season should the situation deteriorate.

That man is Steven Gerrard - Liverpool’s Champions League-winning captain from 2005 and all-round club legend. Gerrard, 45, has not worked as a manager since leaving Saudi side Al-Ettifaq earlier this year.

No doubt it would be a dream for the ex-midfielder to manage his beloved Reds - albeit on a temporary basis until a permanent successor to Slot is announced.

Liverpool consider Gerrard appointment

“Liverpool are considering appointing Steven Gerrard as interim manager in a sensational new manager twist,” the report reads. “Gerrard‘s name is believed to have been internally “discussed” at Liverpool as one possibility, with the idea that he could take over until the end of the season.

“In that scenario, a permanent manager would be appointed next summer when there will be a bigger pool of managers to choose from.”

Arne Slot on thin ice

Gerrard’s managerial successes have so far come at Rangers in Scotland - where he won the Premiership title in 2021.

Since then he has worked at both Aston Villa and in Saudi Arabia without the same kind of success - but could be handed the opportunity to reestablish his managerial credentials in the Anfield hotseat.

Arne Slot you have been warned - FSG will not be afraid to make a change and install Gerrard if the situation requires it.
