BREAKING: Reports Link Zinedine Zidane with Liverpool Job as Pressure Mounts on Arne Slot
Liverpool’s managerial situation has taken a dramatic turn amid widespread reports suggesting that the club could turn to Zinedine Zidane should they decide to part ways with Arne Slot.
According to emerging stories from Spain and England, discussions are believed to have taken place between Zidane’s representatives and members of Liverpool’s hierarchy, though no agreement has yet been confirmed by the club or by Fabrizio Romano.
The speculation comes after a difficult run of form under Slot, who has seen his side lose seven of their opening fixtures, including the recent 3–0 defeat at Manchester City. Sources close to Anfield indicate that FSG are assessing their options but insist that no final decision has been made.
Zidane, a three-time Champions League–winning manager with Real Madrid, has been out of work since leaving the Bernabéu in 2021. His name continues to surface whenever elite managerial vacancies appear, thanks to his proven success and his ability to manage high-profile squads.
Pundits have offered mixed views on the idea.
- Jamie Carragher said on Sky Sports: “If Zidane ever came to Liverpool, it would be massive. He’s a proven winner.”
- Gary Neville added: “The question would be how quickly he adapts to the Premier League.”
For now, Liverpool have made no official statement, and Zidane’s camp has remained silent. Still, the rumour alone has generated excitement among supporters hoping for a revival of the club’s identity and winning spirit.
If the links prove genuine, Zidane’s potential appointment would mark one of the most high-profile managerial arrivals in Premier League history. Until then, Slot remains in charge — and the coming weeks may determine his fate.
