I am going nowhere - Slot confident he will remain Liverpool manager next season

Liverpool have struggled to live up to the expectations after winning the Premier League title the previous season.

The Reds have failed to challenge for the league title and are still yet sure of the Champions League qualification.

This has led to the Dutch coach facing increasing scrutiny in recent months, leaving them to contend for a top-five finish. 

Speaking ahead of the team's final away game of the season against Aston Villa, Slot addressed his future with confidence.

"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."

"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," he said.

Slot acknowledged the team's shortcomings this year, admitting it was "definitely not a great season" compared to previous successes. 

He accepted that criticism is a natural consequence of failing to win the league. "If you don’t have the best season... it is also normal that criticism comes," he added. 

"We have all had our share, and with 'all' I mean the players have had their share, the manager has had their share, and other people in the club have had their share. That is how things work nowadays if you don’t win the league."
