Liverpool SACK Arne Slot after end of season review: Reds squad left surprised by decision as Andoni Iraola emerges overwhelming favourite to take the reins at Anfield

Liverpool have sacked manager Arne Slot following an end-of-season review, with the decision coming as a surprise to the club's squad. The Reds finished fifth in the Premier League this season, securing a Champions League spot only narrowly despite a record-breaking £415 million transfer spend last summer. Brentford manager Andoni Iraola has emerged as the overwhelming favourite to replace Slot as the new head coach at Anfield.
