Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has stated that he has "every reason to believe" he will remain in charge next season, despite facing increasing pressure after failing to mount a genuine Premier League title defence. Slot, whose popularity among fans has dwindled, confirmed he is involved in planning for next season and talks with potential new players. Liverpool is currently fourth in the table, four points clear of sixth with two games left, set to qualify for the Champions League.
Key Points:
- Slot's job security is being questioned despite winning the league last season.
- The drop-off in performance has been so stark that fans are now split on his future.
- Xabi Alonso's availability and links to Chelsea have intensified debate around Slot.
- Sky pundit Jamie Carragher fears Slot could become another Erik ten Hag case.
- Slot joked that critics "must have drunk a little bit," defending his record
