Liverpool sack Arne Slot one year after winning Premier League title
- On Saturday, Liverpool announced the dismissal of head coach Arne Slot with immediate effect, officially initiating the search for a successor following a disappointing season.
- Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp in 2024, delivered Liverpool's 20th league title in his debut year; however, the team lost 19 times this season and finished 25 points behind champions Arsenal.

- Iraola is in advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen and faces interest from Crystal Palace with a weekend deadline, yet Liverpool offers him Champions League football next season despite their fifth-place finish.
