Liverpool have exited the FA Cup following a defeat that has increased scrutiny on manager Arne Slot. The result comes 12 months after the club secured the Premier League title under previous management. Supporters have reportedly shown signs of apathy regarding Slot's tenure following the recent run of form, according to The Guardian.
The club currently sits outside the top four positions in the Premier League table. This decline in domestic performance follows a period of significant success for the Merseyside team. Slot took over the head coach role in 2024 but has struggled to maintain the consistency shown during the previous campaign.
Injuries to key first-team players have hampered the squad's progress throughout the spring period. Despite the recent cup capitulation, the board has not made an official statement regarding the Dutchman's immediate future. Liverpool must now focus on their remaining league fixtures to ensure European qualification for next season, per reporting from Sky Sports.
