In scenes that have horrified world football, Arne Slot’s family home in Formby was targeted by a gang of masked individuals in the early hours of Monday morning, less than 24 hours after Liverpool’s shock 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Neighbours reported hearing shouts of “You’re not wanted here!” before red paint was hurled across the front door, windows and garage, with the words LEAVE LIVERPOOL NOW sprayed in two-foot letters across the driveway.
Merseyside Police confirmed they are treating the incident as aggravated burglary and criminal damage, with four suspects still at large. Slot’s wife Mirella and their three young children were inside the property at the time and are now under armed protection at a secret location.

The 46-year-old Dutchman was not present during the attack; he had already been admitted to Aintree University Hospital hours earlier after collapsing in the dressing room post-match.
Club doctors describe his condition as “very dangerous,” citing extreme hypertension and cardiac arrhythmia triggered by relentless online abuse that escalated into real-world terror following the loss.
Sources inside the training ground say Slot’s blood pressure spiked to 210/130 during a tense post-match meeting with senior players, and he was heard telling staff “I can’t breathe” before losing consciousness. Liverpool’s medical team fear permanent heart damage if the stress continues, with one senior figure telling journalists off-record: “He’s not sleeping, not eating; the pressure is literally killing him.”

The club has postponed all media duties indefinitely and cancelled tomorrow’s open training session.
At Melwood this morning, players arrived wearing black armbands and refused to speak, with Virgil van Dijk simply placing his hand on a reporter’s microphone and shaking his head.
As Merseyside Police step up patrols and the football world rallies behind a manager who arrived only six months ago to universal praise, one chilling truth hangs over Anfield: the same passion that makes Liverpool the most feared fanbase on earth has just crossed a line no one thought possible. Arne Slot came to build a dynasty. Right now, he’s just fighting to stay alive
