Arne Slot's future at the club is in doubt, according to the bookies, as the Liverpool boss has been priced as the odds-on favourite to leave his post after the Reds suffered their 10th defeat of the season in all competitions.
After replacing Jurgen Klopp and guiding Liverpool to a Premier League title last season, Slot's side has been far from the force we were used to seeing as the former Feyenoord boss deals with a depleted and injury-ridden squad. The Dutchman was left frustrated after seeing his side lose to Bournemouth 3-2 at the Vitality Stadium in the dying seconds of injury-time after coming back from 2-0 down at half-time.
After a torrid start to the season which saw Liverpool pick up just three wins in 12 matches in all competition from September to November, Slot managed to get some momentum back with a 13-match unbeaten run. However, with draws against Sunderland, Fulham, Burnley and Leeds United twice in that run it has not been enough to convince the bookies otherwise as he is marked as 8/13 favourite to be shown the door.
William Hill's spokesperson Lee Phelps said: “With Liverpool winless in five Premier League matches, pressure is mounting on manager Arne Slot.
“The loss to Bournemouth could well be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and it has caused a seismic shift in our sack race betting, as Slot has been cut to 8/13 favourite from 12/1 to be the next manager to leave.
“Thomas Frank is another manager who could soon be on his way out, with the current Spurs boss in at 2/1 second favourite.
“Oliver Glasner is further back at 7/1, ahead of Pep Guardiola and Sean Dyche at 20/1.”
Winless in their last five Premier League outings has seen the reigning champions drop from fourth to sixth in the table with Newcastle, Man City and Sunderland up next followed by three of the bottom four clubs in Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Wolves in February and March.
As the Reds sit 14 points from the top of table, they are realistically looking at a top four finish again and will be looking to turnaround the two point lead Man United have over them as the season progresses.
Sack Race Odds
Arne Slot - 8/13
Thomas Frank - 2/1
