Exclusive: Former Liverpool Star Defends Arne Slot After Recent Criticism

It has been a fairly disastrous season for Liverpool, with the defence of their Premier League title unravelling in front of us.

The Reds are currently sat 5th in the Premier League, but are on the verge of securing their place in the Champions League next season.

With 17 defeats across all competitions, pressure has been rising massively on head coach Arne Slot, despite winning the title in his debut season.

The Reds are set to go trophyless for the third time in eight years, having already being knocked out of all cup competitions.

However, reports over recent days have claimed that Slot retains the full backing of the Liverpool hierarchy and will be in the Anfield dugout next season.

Former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel, spoke exclusively to Anfield Index, and shared his thoughts on the Dutchman’s future.

Babbel: “He’s a Top Manager!”

When asked about his evaluation of Slot’s performance this season, Babbel believes that his track record speaks for itself.

“He won the league with Feyenoord and he won the league with Liverpool, and that is in leagues where you are competing against Ajax, PSV and Man City and Arsenal,” said Babbel, “So he is clearly a top manager!”
