‘Every reason to believe…’ – Arne Slot issues defiant response over his future at Liverpool
‘Every reason to believe…’ – Arne Slot issues defiant response over his future at Liverpool Arne Slot answered with defiance when quizzed about his future at Liverpool during his press conference on Thursday morning. The Dutchman has come under ever-intensifying pressure in recent months as the Reds’ Premier League title defence quickly evaporated and instead turned into a scramble to salvage Champions League qualification, something which isn’t yet guaranteed. Some ex-LFC players have called for the club’s hierarchy to bring an end to the 47-year-old’s reign once the campaign ends, although numerous reliable reporters have indicated that FSG fully intend to stick with the head coach going into next season.

He said (via Liverpool FC on YouTube ): “I think the world has gone to if a manager doesn’t have their best season, there’s always a debate, not only at Liverpool but all around the world.
That is the new reality in football. It’s not up to me to judge the people that judge me. They have every right to have their opinion and everyone can share that.
“That happened 15 years ago as well but then you did it in the pub and not everyone heard it. Now it’s probably also in the pub but it’s more out in the open than it was before, and it’s the same everywhere. ” Slot added: “I don’t think I decide [his future] alone, but I have every reason to believe I’m the Liverpool manager next season.
First of all, I’m contracted to this club; second of all, from all the talks we’re having, so that’s my take on it. “If you don’t have the best season, especially if you compare it with last season – if you compare it with other seasons, maybe you have a different debate. If you compare it with last season, this has definitely not been a great season, then it’s also normal that criticism comes.
