Liverpool manager Arne Slot says he is not worried about losing his job despite the growing pressure following his team’s shocking 4–1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The loss — Liverpool’s ninth in their last 12 matches across all competitions — has plunged the defending Premier League champions into a serious crisis. Performances have dipped sharply, confidence is low, and fans are increasingly concerned about the direction of the team.
Speaking after the match, Slot admitted that the situation is troubling but insisted he’s not focused on talk about his job security.
“I am not worried. My focus is on other things than worrying about my own position. I need to do better, I know that.
“I speak to the Liverpool hierarchy — we have those talks — but they don’t call me every single minute of the day to tell me they trust me. We have normal conversations, and I feel the trust. I haven’t spoken to them after this game yet, so let’s see!”

Slot said the defeat came as a surprise given the quality of the squad.
“This is very unexpected if you look at the quality we have.
“Is it a lack of confidence? I didn’t see that in the first half. It’s not the mentality these players have shown so many times since I’m here.”
The Dutch manager, who took over from Jürgen Klopp in the summer, now faces the most challenging period of his Liverpool tenure, with the club struggling both in the Premier League and in Europe.
