  "textContent": "Arne Slot could be nearing the Anfield exit (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nAndoni Iraola’s odds to be the next permanent Liverpool manager have been slashed, with Arne Slot looking in serious danger of losing his job.\n\nAfter the high of winning the Premier League last season it has been a very tough campaign for the Reds, despite a summer of heavy investment into their title-winning squad.\n\nSlot’s side won their first five games of the season but have been extremely unreliable since then and head into the final weekend of the season fifth, where they are likely to finish.\n\nThe Reds have not been beyond the quarter-finals of any cup competition and pressure has been building on the Dutchman, possibly to breaking point.\n\n##  Love football?\n\nOur seven-day guide to the World Cup is live. 48 teams, 104 games, 1104 players – we've got everything you need to know. Sign up now.\n\nThe manager’s style of play has come in for as much criticism as the results, with his side disjointed in attack and leaky in defence.\n\nThe 52 goals Liverpool have conceded this season is already more than they have in any previous 38-game Premier League campaign.\n\nReports suggests the club was planning to stick with Slot for next season, but the situation may now be changing, with the betting markets suggesting Iraola could be on his way to Anfield.\n\nAndoni Iraola has won a lot of admirers at Bournemouth (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nIn April the Bournemouth boss announced his intention to leave the Cherries at the end of the season and immediately became a candidate for some big jobs.\n\nHis reputation has only grown since then as Bournemouth have secured a spot in European football next season and could even usurp Liverpool for a place in the Champions League on the final day of the campaign.\n\nWith the Spaniard’s stock high, the bookmakers expect Liverpool to make their move, with Iraola shortening to odds-on favourite from a price of 7/2 on Thursday.\n\nBournemouth will compete in European competition next season (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nBournemouth handed Arsenal the Premier League title on Tuesday by drawing 1-1 with Manchester City, after which Iraola was asked about his future but gave nothing away.\n\n‘Right now there is nothing about my future in my head,’ he told Sky Sports at the Vitality Stadium.\n\n‘I just want to celebrate and push it. We have Europa League, next let’s maximise our options. Can we take the last Champions League spot?\n\n‘I still don’t know where I will go but I’m in no rush, let’s finish on a high.’\n\n##  Next Liverpool manager odds\n\nAndoni Iraola 4/6\nSebastian Hoeness 6/1\nJulian Nagelsmann 17/2\nOliver Glasner 9/1\nPep Lijnders 9/1\nMarco Silva 10/1\nUnai Emery 10/1\n\nStuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeness is considered in the running to replace Slot (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nJurgen Klopp 11/1\nLuis Enrique 11/1\nZinedine Zidane 12/1\nSteven Gerrard 14/1\nXavi 14/1\nSimone Inzaghi 14/1\n\nOdds courtesy of SkyBet\n\nOther managers seen as possible Slot replacements by the bookmakers include Stuttgart boss Sebastian Honess and Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann.\n\nHowever, it seems that it will be Iraola if the Dutchman is going to leave in the near future.\n\nJust one point in the last three games, including defeats to Manchester United and Aston Villa, have put Slot in more danger than he has ever been on Merseyside.\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
