Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has expressed confidence that Lus Enrique will remain the club\u2019s manager, on the same day that the Liverpool<\/a> job became available. The Reds parted company with Arne Slot<\/a> on Saturday, with the Dutchman leaving Anfield after two years in charge.<\/p>\n Slot had guided Liverpool to fifth place in the Premier League<\/a> this season, qualifying for the Champions League<\/a> in the process, but the club made the decision to make a change ahead of the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n Former Bournemouth<\/a> boss Andoni Iraola has been listed as the early favourite to get the job at Liverpool, but there have been tentative links that Enrique could be a candidate.<\/p>\n Saturday night saw Enrique guide PSG<\/a> to victory in the Champions League final against Arsenal<\/a>, claiming a 4-3 win in a penalty shootout after the match finished 1-1 after extra time.<\/p>\n Al-Khelaifi spoke after PSG\u2019s famous win, where he was asked about Enrique\u2019s future at the club, amid rumours that he could put pen to paper on a new deal to remain at the Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n “He’s very, very special, as a coach, human being, as a person, he is fantastic,\u201d Al-Khelaifi told TNT Sports. \u201cHe’s the best coach in the world<\/a>. He has done amazing with the team.<\/p>\n “With a young team, you know the story. I would also like to thank the players of PSG. This is also for them. They all gave to this project.”<\/p>\n When specifically asked if he expects to still have Enrique as the club\u2019s manager, Al-Khelaifi gave a clear answer.<\/p>\n Luis Enrique won his second Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain(Image: Rob Newell – CameraSport via Getty Images)<\/p>\n FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FB PAGE!

Despite the ex-Bournemouth boss looking likely to land it, Danny Murphy called on his old club to go for Enrique when speaking ahead of PSG’s final with Arsenal.<\/p>\n He said: “Part of me still thinks [Luis] Enrique, [Liverpool] might be able to nick him from PSG, especially if they beat Arsenal.<\/p>\n “I’m going to watch his mannerisms after the game tonight. I am going to watch to see after the game if there are any tears. If he cries, he’s coming to Anfield.”<\/p>\n Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard<\/a> reacted to the news of Slot\u2019s departure, explaining why he believes the Reds will already have a replacement in mind.<\/p>\n “Well, look, I think we’ve all been around the game long enough to know how the ‘process’ works,\u201d Gerrard told TNT Sports. \u201cI would be very surprised if they made that decision and all of a sudden thought, ‘Well, who are we going to appoint next?’<\/p>\n “Liverpool don’t work like that. Liverpool are an organised machine, up top, they have been for a long time.<\/p>\n “I think it is the right time because it is the end of the season. A new guy will get a pre-season, and he will get that chance to recruit players. As a manager going in, it is the best time to go in, to reset everyone, and get everyone moving forward in the right direction.<\/p>\n “I’d be extremely surprised if the people above Slot who make the big decisions at Liverpool all of a sudden started from three or four hours ago looking for a successor.”<\/p>\n Join our new WhatsApp community<\/a> and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
