With Arne Slot having suffered an amazing fall from grace this season, we’re taking a look at the next Liverpool manager odds to see who could potentially replace him.
Slot earned a place in Anfield folklore thanks to last term’s Premier League title triumph, but the club’s worst run of form in over 70 years during the current campaign has put him in danger of going from hero to zero.
Should the Dutch boss prove a one-hit wonder, these managers are rated most likely to step in:

Jurgen Klopp
Jurgen Klopp @ 3/1
The 58-year-old walked away from Anfield in 2024, ending a transformative nine-year spell at the club that included a Champions League success and the Reds’ first league title in 30 years.
As well as becoming head of global soccer with the Red Bull group and an advisor with the German Football League, Klopp has made the most of his well-earned break from management by promoting a leading travel comparison site, looking suitably refreshed in TV adverts.
Klopp has insisted he doesn’t miss coaching or “standing in the rain” for hours on end, but did admit a sensational return to Liverpool is “theoretically possible” , and the many fans who still revere him would welcome the notion that he may one day pick up where he left off.
Xabi Alonso
Xabi Alonso @ 6/1
Having won the Champions League with Liverpool as a player, Alonso was one of the favourites to succeed Klopp during a successful stint as head coach at Bayer Leverkusen, but instead ended up returning to another of his former clubs in Real Madrid.
He has made a bright start to life at the Bernabeu in terms of performances on the pitch, but speculation is rife that a reported feud with star winger Vinicius Junior could result in a hasty departure for one or the other.
Andoni Iraola
Andoni Iraola @ 6/1
Following promising stints with Mirandes and Rayo Vallecano, the 43-year-old has made a big impression since joining Bournemouth in June 2023, leading the Cherries to ninth place in the Premier League last season with an entertaining brand of football.
As a former Athletic Bilbao stalwart, Iraola has many of the traits Liverpool usually look for in a manager.
Oliver Glasner
Oliver Glasner @ 7/1
The Austrian brings a similar profile to the table , building on spells at LASK, Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt by taking Crystal Palace to a record Premier League points tally and a first major trophy in the FA Cup, as well as beating Liverpool on penalties in the Community Shield.
Julian Nagelsmann
Julian Nagelsmann @ 10/1
The 38-year-old enjoyed a meteoric rise up the managerial ranks by following up successful stints at Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig with a Bundesliga title triumph at Bayern Munich before being appointed as head coach of Germany’s national team, so presumably nothing will happen on this front until after the World Cup at least.
Steven Gerrard
Steven Gerrard @ 10/1
Since leading Rangers to their first Scottish title in a decade, Gerrard’s coaching career path has taken a backwards turn, lasting just 11 months at Aston Villa before spending a year and a half struggling in Saudi Arabia, but he is a legend at Anfield due to his exploits as a player and could step in straight away as a short-term gamble which could easily pay rich dividends.
