Arne Slot Under Pressure as Liverpool Reportedly Eye Filipe Luís as Potential Successor
Liverpool manager Arne Slot is under mounting pressure after a disappointing start to the new campaign, with reports suggesting former Chelsea defender Filipe Luís has emerged as a possible replacement.
The Reds have endured a difficult spell, losing six of their last seven matches in all competitions and exiting the Carabao Cup early. Despite significant summer investment, Slot’s team has fallen behind Arsenal in the Premier League race, leaving their title defence in serious doubt.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool’s hierarchy is beginning to assess contingency plans, and Filipe Luís — currently managing Flamengo — is among the names being considered. The 40-year-old Brazilian has impressed since moving into management and is reportedly attracting growing interest from several European clubs.
A move to Anfield would represent a major leap in his coaching career, and Liverpool’s global stature makes the position an enticing prospect for any ambitious manager.
Slot, who guided the Reds to the Premier League title last season, is said to retain support from parts of the board for now, but results must improve quickly. With his new signings struggling to make an impact and performances deteriorating, speculation continues to grow that Liverpool could make a managerial change if the slump continues.
