According to Football Insider, the club's hierarchy are prepared to review Slot's position should the Reds fail to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. This development marks a stark contrast to the optimism that surrounded Anfield just a few months ago. Slot, who guided Liverpool to Premier League title glory in his first campaign, was widely praised for modernising the team's tactical approach while maintaining the intensity synonymous with the club.

"New contract, he was offering me a new contract! No, it was normal things. To show his support, explaining that it is a long project. He said many times this is my first season. For me, it's not. But it was normal things. I spoke with him, Omar [Berrada, chief executive] and Jason [Wilcox, director of football], trying to see all the data around the team. So, it was a normal meeting, and we had several. But in this moment, it's normal that people pay attention to that."

Amorim's position has come under renewed scrutiny following the shock result on Wednesday night which saw a much-changed United team knocked out of the Carabao Cup by the fourth-tier side. Afterwards, the Portuguese coach, who is under contract until 2027, said "something has to change" and hinted he would assess his own position with the hierarchy during the September international break following Burnley's visit to Old Trafford this weekend.
