Liverpool sack Arne Slot after two years with Andoni Iraola in line to replace him

• Dutchman departs after disappointing title defence

• Live reaction: Slot leaves Anfield after two years

Liverpool have sacked Arne Slot following the team’s troubled Premier League title defence and are likely to turn to Andoni Iraola to replace him.

Slot has been dismissed with immediate effect and, Liverpool say, with great reluctance after a review into a season that was overshadowed by the death of Diogo Jota and featured 19 defeats in all competitions.
