Liverpool legend Didi Hamann has delivered a major update on Arne Slot\u2019s future at the club, following the 3-2 Premier League defeat to bitter rivals Manchester United on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Reds suffered their 18th defeat of the season in all competitions at Old Trafford, while United were also able to record their first league double over Liverpool<\/a> in a decade.<\/p>\n The Anfield outfit currently sit fourth in the table, knowing that one more win from their final three outings will guarantee them a Champions League spot for next term.<\/p>\n However, there\u2019s no hiding the fact that Liverpool\u2019s title defence has been nothing short of disastrous, with Slot<\/a>\u2018s future firmly in the balance, amid continued links to another former Reds midfielder in Xabi Alonso<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hamann, though, believes that Liverpool owners FSG are likely to stick by their manager, telling NewBettingOffers<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve heard that Arne Slot will be there next season. I think there\u2019s a case to be made that maybe a change of manager should happen or should have happened.<\/p>\n \u201cBut Liverpool have always been very loyal to their managers. He won the league last season of course so I think it\u2019s a decision I can live with, and I think most fans can live with, if they have a decent finish to the season.<\/p>\n \u201cThen obviously, you need to see what\u2019s happening in the summer after the World Cup with players going, obviously Andy Robertson leaving, Mohamed Salah leaving. But yeah, I think it\u2019s a decision that is understandable.<\/p>\n \u201cFor probably the first time in a long time Liverpool fans are split, it\u2019s a very knowledgeable fan base and Liverpool doesn\u2019t usually sack managers. That\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n \u201cBut usually when the fan base turns, it\u2019s a matter of time before the manager has to go. Now with Arne Slot, I think it\u2019s split because of what he\u2019s done last season. I think it\u2019s probably the first time in a long time that it\u2019s as split as it\u2019s ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n
