Liverpool manager Arne Slot has declared he has 'every reason to believe' he will continue in his role next season despite a difficult second campaign. The Dutch coach led the Reds to the Premier League title in his debut year but has faced mounting criticism as the team languishes in fourth place with two matches remaining.

Slot acknowledged the criticism stems from comparisons to last season's success, saying it's natural when expectations aren't met. Fourth-placed Liverpool will finish the campaign without silverware and still need points to secure Champions League qualification. Despite fan discontent, the club's board has not signaled any intention to replace the 45-year-old manager.

The former Feyenoord boss emphasized he remains under contract and pointed to ongoing discussions with the club hierarchy as reasons for his confidence. Slot's position appears secure for now, though the lack of progress this season has intensified scrutiny on his tactical approach and squad management.
