Arne Slot reacting on the touchline during a difficult Premier League season for Liverpool.
Arne Slot has insisted he fully expects to remain in charge of Liverpool F.C. next season despite increasing pressure following a disappointing title defence campaign.
After guiding Liverpool to Premier League glory in his debut season, expectations were sky-high at Anfield. However, this season has painted a completely different picture.
The Reds have suffered 11 league defeats and are now battling just to secure a Champions League spot, leaving many supporters frustrated with the dramatic drop in standards.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s crucial final fixtures, the Dutch manager made it clear that he still believes the club’s hierarchy trusts him.
“I don’t think I am deciding that alone by myself but I have every reason to believe I am the Liverpool manager next season,” Slot said.
“First of all, I am contracted to this club and second of all from all the talks we are having. That is my take on it.”
Despite the criticism surrounding the club, reports suggest Liverpool’s board has not seriously considered replacing the former Feyenoord boss.
Liverpool’s sudden decline has shocked many football fans across Europe.
Just one season after dominating the Premier League, the club now finds itself scrambling to guarantee Champions League qualification. The Reds need one more victory from their final two matches to mathematically seal a top-four finish.
Slot admitted the team has fallen far below the standards set during last season’s title-winning campaign.
“If you compare it with last season, this has definitely not been a great season,” he confessed.
“But criticism is normal at a club like Liverpool.”
The atmosphere around Anfield has noticeably changed in recent weeks, with frustration from supporters becoming more visible during matches.
Still, Slot refused to blame individual players or staff members for the club’s struggles.
“We have all had our share,” he explained.
“With ‘all’, I mean the players, the manager, and other people at the club.”
The manager’s comments highlight a sense of collective responsibility as Liverpool attempt to steady the ship before next season.
The big question now is whether Slot can rebuild Liverpool into genuine title contenders again.
With several rivals strengthening, questions remain over the squad depth, tactical consistency, and the club’s transfer plans heading into the summer window.
One thing is certain — next season could define Slot’s entire Liverpool project.
For now, though, the Dutchman remains convinced he will still be standing in the Anfield dugout when the new campaign begins.
