Lіverрool Shakeuр aѕ Zіdane Set to Take Over After Dіѕaѕtrouѕ Slot Exіt

Liverpool have moved swiftly to replace Arne Slot following a dire run of results, with Zinedine Zidane reportedly set to take charge. The decision comes after a 3–0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield, marking Liverpool’s sixth loss in seven Premier League matches and signalling the end of Slot’s increasingly troubled tenure.

The latest defeat exposed the team’s vulnerabilities and deepened the crisis surrounding Slot’s leadership. Goals from Murillo, Nicolò Savona, and Morgan Gibbs-White compounded the pressure on the manager, who again accepted responsibility for his side’s collapse. The result dropped Liverpool to 11th place, intensifying concerns among pundits and supporters about the team’s alarming decline.

Amid the growing uncertainty, the club’s hierarchy has turned to Zidane as the figure capable of stabilising the situation. Although no announcement has been made, sources close to the club indicate that his appointment is imminent. Zidane’s pedigree, experience, and proven winning mentality make him a strong candidate to restore direction and authority within the squad.

Slot, meanwhile, maintained in his post-match comments that he would continue to assess his own decisions and the team’s performances. He acknowledged tactical missteps yet expressed belief that the squad still possessed the quality to recover. Despite his determination, the momentum toward a managerial change suggests his departure is imminent.

Should Zidane step into the role, he will face significant challenges: repairing a fractured dressing room, implementing a coherent tactical structure, and reviving the club’s ambitions in domestic and European competitions. For Liverpool supporters, the prospect of Zidane’s arrival offers renewed hope after a season overshadowed by instability and declining performances.
