Florian Wirtz has backed Arne Slot as Liverpool prepare for a huge Champions League quarter-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain tonight.
Pressure is building on Slot after Liverpool’s humiliating 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City intensified concerns over recent performances.
The Reds are also fighting to secure Champions League qualification through the Premier League after a frustrating domestic campaign this season.
Reports claim Fenway Sports Group have already accelerated their end-of-season review because of Liverpool’s poor form in recent weeks.
That has increased speculation over Slot’s future, with former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso frequently linked with the Anfield job, reports Team Talk.
Despite the uncertainty, Wirtz has made it clear the Liverpool squad still believes fully in their current manager.
