After a disappointing season to say the least, Arne Slot’s future at Liverpool seemed to be dotted. But obviously, the English press has changed its tune since it recently revealed that the Dutch coach could well stay next season to put the Reds back at the top of English football. At a press conference this Thursday, the main person concerned spoke about the subject.
“I think the world of football has changed: as soon as a coach doesn’t have his best season, his future is always debated. This is the new reality of football. It is not my place to judge those who judge me. They have every right to have this opinion and everyone can share it. Before, everyone did this in the pub quietly, now you can share your opinion everywhere. It’s out in the open and it’s the same everywhere. Preparing for next season? We know where we’re going on tour. Plans have been made, discussions are underway between the club and the new players and I am taking part in them. I don’t think I’ll decide that alone (if he will still be LFC coach). I have a contract with this club, all the discussions we have, so yes, that’s my point of view. If you don’t have the best season, compared to the last one, which clearly wasn’t great, then it’s normal for criticism to come and we’ve all had our share of that. That’s how it works these days if you don’t win the championship. »
