Slot: I have Liverpool management's backing

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed he still has the backing of the club's hierarchy and does not fear the sack despite the 4-1 Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven and growing fan frustration. "This is not the first time I am in a difficult situation, but it is about the moment we turn things around," he said. "I do not feel anxious. I feel safe. I need to do a better job, and that is what I try to do every day," Slot added after Liverpool's second heavy European defeat. Thousands of fans left the stadium before the final whistle, with boos audible amid clear frustration from the supporters. Liverpool have lost 9 of their last 12 matches in all competitions, the club's worst run since January 1953. The team also conceded three or more goals in three consecutive games for the first time since December 1953. "I have a lot of support from the officials. Of course, it would be nice to turn things around and get a win, but if you are not doing well, it is natural that questions start," Slot confirmed. "My position is safe. What I mean by that is that my focus is on other things away from my job."
