Liverpool have no plans to complete a summer review into Arne Slot's position at the club, with the Dutchman not under pressure to be sacked, GIVEMESPORT understands.
Slot has come under increasing pressure this season, with Liverpool only fourth in the Premier League table with two games to play after winning the title in his first season in charge in 2024/25.
Slot made an immediate impact at Anfield last year, storming to the Premier League title, but after spending more than £400million on new players to strengthen his squad, things have not gone to plan this time around.

Injuries to big signings Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike have had a negative impact, while Florian Wirtz took time to adapt to the rigours of the Premier League. There was also a very public falling out with Mohamed Salah - who failed to hit the incredible heights expected of him.
All in all it has been a disappointing campaign, but providing the Reds pick up two points from their remaining two matches, they will be in the Champions League next season, which is the bare minimum for the Anfield hierarchy.
But despite the poor season, owners Fenway Sports Group have no plans to conduct a review into Slot's position, with the Dutchman expected to be in the dugout when the new 2026/27 season begins.
GMS senior football correspondent Ben Jacobs said: "I don't even think this narrative of Liverpool reassessing in the summer necessarily has that much credence regarding Arne Slot's future.
"The position, speaking to Liverpool sources, is clear and has been for quite some time, that Liverpool and FSG back Arne Slot and they've got a big summer ahead, and this idea that they're going to have a review at the end of the season and may U-turn on that position is downplayed by sources.
"What now can change between today and the end of the season? Liverpool are highly likely to get Champions League football, that's the best they can do, and it's been clear for quite some time, so any review doesn't need to wait until the summer. There's ongoing dialogue and feedback, and Arne Slot is part of the summer planning, and it'll be a huge U-turn, an unexpected situation, if FSG and Liverpool's leadership team suddenly get to the summer and go, now the season's ended, we've got a different perspective."

Jacobs also revealed that FSG believe there have been "mitigating circumstances" for the season the Reds have endured.
He added: "The main reason why Arne Slot is backed is because there are seen as mitigating circumstances to this season.
"It was obviously a tragic and horrible and sad summer with the passing of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. When you add to that, the mass change with Jeremie Frimpong coming in and seeing himself as a starter, the same for Milos Kerkez, same for Florian Wirtz, same for Hugo Ekitike, same for Alexander Isak.
"That can be challenging because even though some of those players have been in and out due to injury, you build a scenario where 50% of your starting XI are relatively new players, or are brand new signings.
"Mo Salah was very unhappy very early in the season, that's a factor as well, so Liverpool just haven't clicked.
"But Liverpool are slowly building, and the feeling remains that stability and chemistry between these new signings and likely two attackers/wingers can make a big, big difference.
"Liverpool want to stick with Arne Slot, they haven't forgotten that he won the Premier League in his first season.
"I know some Liverpool fans will argue that was a Jurgen Klopp legacy and there are a lot of Liverpool fans that are not backing Slot at the moment, but FSG don't share that sentiment, and this is why there's been no talks with Xabi Alonso yet, despite reports."
