A former Liverpool star is at risk of being sacked from his managerial job, according to a report.

The midfielder, who enjoyed seven years at Anfield, ventured into coaching upon his retirement having both played and coached in his homeland of the Netherlands throughout his career.

All is not going swimmingly at his current team, however, with the Belgian side rooted to the bottom of the league table with just two points from the first 10 games of the new season.

They are winless with eight defeats from those games, and are six points adrift of the next worst team, as well as already nine points away from the club who occupy the final position in the table that would be safe from relegation.
