Liverpool Considers Filipe Luis Amid Arne Slot's Struggles and Cup Exit

Liverpool is reportedly considering Flamengo boss Filipe Luis as a potential replacement for current manager Arne Slot amid the team's poor performance, including six losses in their last seven games and elimination from the Carabao Cup. Despite a strong start last season, Slot's squad has struggled with injuries and depth, which he highlighted in comparison to Chelsea's deeper roster, citing Chelsea's use of Estevao as an advantage. Slot defended his heavy rotation in the Carabao Cup defeat to Crystal Palace, noting that other teams like Manchester City and Chelsea manage their squads more effectively despite injuries. Liverpool's management continues to back Slot for now, focusing on upcoming challenging fixtures against Aston Villa, Real Madrid, and Manchester City. However, the pressure on Slot is mounting, with expectations for him to improve results rapidly to secure his position. The club's front office is seeking a manager who aligns with Liverpool's footballing values and can handle the current expensive squad if a change becomes necessary.
