Liverpool’s legendary former defender Jamie Carragher has sensationally claimed that “Arne Slot has a week to save his job.”
Carragher is a prominent voice across the English-speaking football landscape, laying out his opinions for two of the most prominent British and U.S. broadcasters. Indelibly linked to Liverpool following his 17-year senior career on Merseyside, the retired centre back has suffered through the club’s current slump.
Most of the tongue-lashings dolled out by Carragher this season have been directed at the players. He’s demanded that both Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah be dropped while casting aspersions about Virgil van Dijk’s waning ability. Yet, up to this point, Carragher has largely been protective of Slot.
As recently as Wednesday night, in the aftermath of a 4–1 drubbing from PSV Eindhoven—Liverpool’s ninth defeat in 12 games—Carragher argued against a change in the dugout. “Liverpool’s not a sacking club,” he claimed. “Liverpool, I think, are different from almost every club in European football where the manager is the king. The managers get time.”
That stance has swiftly shifted.
Writing in his weekly column for , Carragher gave Slot just three games to prove his worth.
