When Arne Slot walked through the doors at Anfield, many wondered how he would follow in the footsteps of Jurgen Klopp. A year later, the Dutchman has not only answered that question — he’s raised new ones about just how far he can take Liverpool.
After guiding the Reds to the Premier League title in his debut season, Slot has impressed both fans and board members with his calm control and modern tactical approach.
Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), are now reportedly preparing to reward him with a new long-term deal — one that reflects their trust in his project and vision.
According to Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail, Slot’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, is already in early discussions with the club.
“Liverpool want to act quickly here otherwise they risk Slot entering his last contracted season next year,” Steele revealed. The 47-year-old’s current deal runs until June 2027, but plans are already being drawn to extend it further.

How Liverpool have fared under Arne Slot so far
While some fans have been restless after a few narrow defeats, Liverpool’s management reportedly remains fully behind Slot. The reasoning is simple — he’s ticked every major box so far: winning titles, stabilizing the squad, and maintaining attacking flair.
Here’s a quick look at Liverpool’s record under Arne Slot so far:
| Category | Statistic |
|---|---|
| Matches Managed | 67 |
| Points Per Match (PPM) | 2.15 |
| Premier League Titles | 1 |
| Win Percentage | 68% (approx.) |
| Goals Scored | 148 |
| Goals Conceded | 63 |
These numbers reflect more than form — they represent progress. The Dutchman’s structure and man-management have turned Liverpool back into a well-oiled machine.
But there’s more to the story. Slot’s current situation has a strategic twist. Despite success, his contract length means he could soon enter a phase where uncertainty begins to grow — something Liverpool are keen to avoid.
The club learned from Klopp’s era that long-term planning brings calm both inside and outside the dressing room.

Could a new era be cemented soon?
Slot’s personality fits Liverpool like a well-placed corner kick — confident, calm, and precise. Sources suggest both sides are eager to continue the partnership, with FSG reportedly eyeing a fresh deal that secures Arne Slot well beyond 2027.
Such a move would also stabilize the club’s wider plans. Senior players like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah have recently renewed their deals, and keeping Slot could convince others to do the same.
It’s also a statement to rivals. Extending Slot’s stay tells the football world that Anfield isn’t just rebuilding — it’s reinforcing.
