Liverpool manager Arne Slot has addressed speculation about a potential early departure from Anfield following the club’s disappointing week, in which they lost two crucial trophies.

Newcastle United defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on March 16, just days after the Reds were eliminated from the Champions League. This marked a disastrous week for the club, as their hopes of a treble-winning season collapsed.

Slot acknowledged the struggles but dismissed any notion of stepping away early. “This is a disappointing result, a disappointing performance… perhaps the first time we’ve lost two consecutive matches,” he admitted. However, the Dutchman made it clear that he remains committed to the club’s long-term vision.

When asked about rumors of an early contract termination, Slot responded firmly: “Leaving Liverpool is not an option. I came here for a long-term project, and setbacks are part of football. We will learn from this and come back stronger.”

With Liverpool now eliminated from the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, and Champions League, their only chance at silverware remains the Premier League. Fortunately for Slot, his side still leads the table with a 12-point advantage over Arsenal.

Liverpool will have a two-week break before their next fixture, a Merseyside derby against Everton. This period will be crucial for Slot and his squad to recover from their recent setbacks and refocus on their league ambitions.
