The Reds concluded the season in fifth place in the Premier League, narrowly qualifying for Champions League football while failing in all other competitions.
In an exclusive report, Fabrizio Romano revealed the news and identified a ‘clear favourite’ to step into Slot’s role at Anfield.
On X, Romano stated: “EXCLUSIVE: ARNE SLOT AND LIVERPOOL TO PART WAYS WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT.”
“It’s concluded between the Dutch manager and Liverpool following an end-of-season review.”
“Andoni Iraola is the frontrunner to become the next #LFC head coach.”
Could Iraola Join Liverpool?
The Spanish manager has taken Bournemouth to their first-ever European football qualification this season, securing a sixth-place finish in the Premier League.

Iraola is undoubtedly a skilled coach and could revive an attractive brand of football at Anfield, focusing heavily on a high-pressing style.
However, the pivotal question is whether he is prepared for such a significant role.
The 43-year-old was previously considered a strong candidate for the managerial position at AC Milan but opted to turn down that opportunity. Now we understand his intentions…
It appears that Iraola was waiting for a potential opportunity at Liverpool, putting him in line to succeed Slot.
Additionally, it is noteworthy that Iraola has previously collaborated with Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, during their time at AFC Bournemouth.
