Jurgen Klopp could make shock Liverpool comeback as Arne Slot faces mounting pressure
Liverpool are reportedly weighing up the possibility of bringing Jurgen Klopp back as head coach amid growing concerns over Arne Slotās future.
The Redsā 3-2 loss to Brentford on Saturday marked their fourth straight Premier League defeat, leaving them in sixth place ā seven points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
Although Slot still has the backing of the clubās hierarchy, he is under increasing pressure to turn things around after a record-breaking summer in which Liverpool spent ā¬482.9 million on new signings, including Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, and Giovanni Leoni.
According to reports from the X account IndyKaila, Liverpool officials are āconcerned,ā with suggestions that Klopp would be open to a dramatic return if approached. The post claimed:
āLiverpool owners and executives are starting to worry about the teamās performances ā not just the results. Arne Slotās position remains safe for now, but if thereās no improvement soon, they wonāt hesitate to act mid-season. Sources suggest Klopp could be open to a sensational comeback, though no contact has been made yet.ā
Klopp stepped down as Liverpool manager in 2024 after a hugely successful nine-year spell at Anfield. Slot replaced him following an impressive run with Feyenoord in the Eredivisie.
Despite a modest first transfer window in which Liverpool spent just ā¬42 million, Slot exceeded expectations by leading the Reds to only their second-ever Premier League title in his debut season. However, a poor run of form this term has raised doubts, and if results donāt improve quickly, Liverpool may consider reuniting with their legendary former boss.
