[Getty Images] Even if Liverpool progress past Galatasaray in the Champions League, there is still uncertainty that Arne Slot will be in charge next season, believes former midfielder Didi Hamann. The Reds, and under-pressure boss Slot, will have to overturn a one-goal deficit at Anfield on Wednesday night to reach the quarter-finals. It would keep alive another route into Europe's top club competition as Liverpool struggle to secure their place via the Premier League, less than a year on from winning the title.
"I don't think he [Slot] is handling it too well. He came out with a statement this week that the Liverpool faithful is always very loyal to the managers," Hamann told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast. "Obviously you need results and they probably overachieved last season by a long way by winning the league.
But they did win the league, they spent an awful lot of money in the summer and you would expect them to at least challenge for the title now, but it's not even certain they will get in the Champions League next season. "It is vital they go through tonight, but even if they do so I'm not sure Slot will still be the manager for next season because, you have to say, the form is poor. The fans seem to lose faith in the manager and in the team and I think it is a very toxic situation at the moment.
