Fabrizio Romano has addressed yet another round of sack talks regarding Arne Slot.
The 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City on Sunday represented the Reds’ fifth Premier League defeat in just six matches, plunging the defending champions down to eighth position in the table with only 18 points from 11 games.
This run has seen Liverpool collect just 10 fewer points than they managed at the same stage last season, when they held a commanding five-point advantage at the summit.
Slot has overseen seven defeats in his last ten matches across all competitions, a shocking turnaround for a side that claimed the Premier League title in his debut campaign.
What makes the current predicament particularly alarming is Liverpool’s complete inability to secure results away from Anfield—Sunday’s humbling at the Etihad Stadium marked their fourth consecutive away defeat, with Slot’s side offering precious little resistance as City dominated proceedings.
But taking to his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano has now again denied any Arne Slot sack talks and asserts that FSG and the club’s hierachy remain in support of the Dutchman:
“It has been a complicated start to the season for Liverpool, but what we can say is that the information arrives very clear.”
“Liverpool keep backing the manager, Arne Slot, Liverpool keep supporting the coach, Liverpool keep believing Arne Slot is the right man for this job, is the right man to fix this situation, is the right man to help this team perform after many signings, after many changes, after different things compared to last season.”
“And so, Liverpool maintain their confidence in the manager.”
“There is no contact with any other agent or representative of a different manager. There is full trust in Arne Slot – from the players and from the club.”
“So, the situation remains absolutely 100% under control, and Liverpool have absolutely no intention to change anything.”
“That’s important to clarify, as after the defeats, obviously some fans keep asking what’s going to happen with the coach, what’s going to happen with the club, what’s going to happen with the owners, but they are all going in the same direction.”
