Liverpool have sacked head coach Arne Slot after a disappointing defence of their Premier League title.Fans turned on the Dutchman after a number of poor performances - the team lost 19 times this season - and there was some disharmony in the dressing room, with Mohamed Salah the most outspoken.Sources insist the decision was taken with "enormous reluctance", admitting it does not feel entirely fair to dispense with a coach who won only the club's second league title in 35 years.
