- Arne Slot said he expects to remain Liverpool manager next season
- Liverpool have already begun planning and transfer talks for the 2026/27 campaign
- Slot is actively involved in squad rebuilding following Jürgen Klopp’s departure
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has expressed strong confidence in his position at Anfield, insisting he expects to remain in charge of the club beyond the current season as preparations for the next campaign intensify.
Slot’s comments, reported by Fabrizio Romano on X on Thursday, come amid growing attention on Liverpool’s long-term squad planning and upcoming summer transfer activities.
The Dutch coach stated that he has no doubts about his future at the club, saying: “I have every reason to believe I will be the Liverpool manager next season.”
He further revealed that Liverpool have already begun early strategic planning for the next season, with internal discussions underway regarding potential transfer targets and squad improvements.
“The plans for next season have been made, talks are ongoing between the club and new players, and I am involved in that,” Slot added.
The remarks suggest continuity at a time when top European clubs are increasingly focused on early recruitment ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Since taking charge at Anfield, Slot has been actively involved in reshaping the squad and implementing a new tactical direction following the departure of long-serving former manager Jürgen Klopp.
His leadership has been closely watched by supporters, particularly as Liverpool transition into a new era defined by squad rebuilding and long-term planning.
The club is expected to be active in the upcoming transfer window, with several positions identified for reinforcement as Liverpool aim to remain competitive in both domestic and European competitions.
Slot’s assurance is likely to calm speculation about managerial uncertainty and reinforce the club’s commitment to stability during a crucial phase of its rebuild.
His involvement in transfer discussions also highlights a hands-on approach to recruitment, with Liverpool’s hierarchy reportedly working closely with the manager to identify and secure suitable additions to the squad.
Supporters will see his comments as a positive sign that the club’s project remains on track, especially as Liverpool continue to adapt to tactical and personnel changes introduced since Klopp’s departure.
As preparations continue, attention will now turn to how effectively Liverpool can strengthen their squad and compete for major honours under Slot’s leadership in the coming season.
