Former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham has publicly supported Liverpool's decision to part ways with manager Arne Slot. Sheringham argued that allowing the Dutch coach to remain in charge would have created unnecessary uncertainty heading into the new campaign, describing the situation as having a 'toxic vibe'.
Sheringham also criticized Liverpool for 'missing the boat' after Xabi Alonso's move to Chelsea. The former midfielder, who played for Liverpool, joined Chelsea in a high-profile transfer, which Sheringham believes Liverpool should have anticipated or countered.
As of May 31, 2026, Liverpool has not announced a permanent replacement for Slot. The club is reportedly considering several candidates, though no official statements have been made. Sheringham's comments reflect ongoing debate among pundits about Liverpool's direction.
