**Liverpool are thought to be huge admirers of former Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, amid doubts over Arne Slot’s future as the Reds’ head coach.**
Slot has never been under more pressure than he is currently, with Wednesday’s 4-1 loss at home to PSV Eindhoven consigning his side to a ninth defeat in 12 games.
Opinion is split among the fanbase as to whether the Dutchman should be sacked, with some feeling he still has credit in the bank, and some wanting a change in the dugout.
According to [_TEAMtalk_](https://www.teamtalk.com/liverpool/senior-source-reveals-all-arne-slot-sack-shock-replacement-candidate-revealed), Liverpool could see Postecoglou as an ideal replacement for Slot, with the board said to admire him “massively”, having won the Europa League with Spurs last season.
Meanwhile, the report also provides quotes from a source within the club about the current situation, saying:
_“We’re going through a hard time. The death of Jota has, of course, had a serious impact inside the club, and everyone knew there would be a downturn at some point after Jurgen. We’re entering a new cycle – new head coach, new staff, younger squad profile. That was always part of the plan.”_
_“He can’t keep losing, that’s obvious. Three or four more bad results and the conversation changes completely. But there is more leeway than people outside think. We don’t sack managers easily at Liverpool. The owners hate knee-jerk decisions and FSG still see this as year zero of a multi-year project.”_
**Should Slot be sacked as Liverpool head coach?**
--------------------------------------------------
It is heartbreaking to see Slot struggling like this, having only won the Premier League title six months ago, with some players arguably downing tools in too many games.
There are so many reasons for the Reds’ current woes, not least the aforementioned tragic death of Diogo Jota back in July, but things have to change fast for Slot’s sake.
If Liverpool lose at West Ham this weekend, it could prove to be the end for the 47-year-old, who looks lost on the touchline, both tactically and in terms of belief.
Hopefully, Sunday’s trip to the London Stadium will represent the start of a glorious turnaround in fortunes for the Reds, but that feels highly unlikely on current evidence.
