Arne Slot’s first problem revealed

May 28, 2024Ligue 1

The Arne Slot era at Liverpool is about to get underway and things will certainly be a lot different around Anfield from the start of the 2024/25 campaign.

Although there has to be an understanding from the Reds faithful that the Dutchman will need to be given a period of grace in order to implement his way of working properly, football supporters being what they are today, they’re sure to expect almost immediate results.

Whether or not the new man in charge can hit the ground running will only be seen over the course of the next 6-12 months.

New Liverpool manager Arne Slot could already have a problem to deal with.

As a basic tenet of his time at the club, he’ll need everyone pulling their weight.

It’s obvious that there’ll be many playing members of staff that will have been loyal to Jurgen Klopp, but his time has passed now and anyone not getting on board with the new direction that the club have taken could well be shown the exit door.

Arne Slot’s first decision as Liverpool manager will be on Caoimhin Kelleher

One player is already believed to want to move on, unless Slot can work his magic and persuade him to stay.

The player concerned is reserve goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, and Football Insider note it’s the lack of match time that has seen the 25-year-old considering his future away from the club.

There’s little to no chance of Alisson Becker being usurped as the number one at the club, so one can understand Kelleher’s point of view.
