Liverpool<\/a> manager next season. 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.<\/p>\n\u201cBut if you don\u2019t have the best season, especially if you compare with last season \u2013 if you compare it with other seasons you might have a different debate \u2013 then this has definitely not been a great season and it is also normal that criticism comes. We have all had our share, and with \u2018all\u2019 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\u2019t win the league.\u201d<\/p>\n
Slot reiterated that he is heavily involved in planning for next season with the hierarchy. \u201cWe know where we go on tour, our plans have been made, and talks have been ongoing between the club and new players and I am involved in that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
But he accepted that demand for change comes with the territory for a manager after one poor season. \u201cIf a manager or a club doesn\u2019t have their best season there is always a debate about that \u2013 it is not only Liverpool it is all around the world,\u201d Slot said. \u201cThat is the new reality in football. It is not up to me to judge the people who judge me. They have every right to have their opinion and in this modern time everyone can share his opinion as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way, this happened 10, 15 years ago as well but then you did it in a pub and not everyone heard it. Now it is also probably done in the pub \u2013 if I read what they are saying they must have drunk a little bit! That is a joke, by the way. Now it is more out in the open than it was back in the days, and that is everywhere the same so I would be surprised if that had been different here at Liverpool.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arne Slot has said he has \u201cevery reason to believe\u201d he will remain Liverpool\u2019s head coach next season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670473,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-670472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
