The coach of Liverpool, Arne Slot, has become the main favorite to be dismissed among coaches in the English Championship.
The Dutchman’s team continues to be in crisis — after a 0−3 home defeat to Crystal Palace, the Merseysiders were eliminated from the League Cup. The Londoners have already beaten the 'Reds' for the third time this season.
A series of setbacks has placed Slot among the top three most likely candidates for dismissal, alongside Vítor Pereira from Wolves. Despite Liverpool spending 450 million pounds this summer to strengthen the squad, the team has suffered four consecutive defeats in the championship and five against English opponents in a row — for the first time since 1953. Today, the 'Reds' host Aston Villa, and next week they will face Real Madrid in the Champions League.
