Arne Slot Confident He'll Manage Liverpool Next Season – Salah Good to Play Against Aston Villa

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has expressed confidence that he will continue to manage the Reds in the upcoming season, while bringing positive news that Mohamed Salah is fit enough to feature in the away match against Aston Villa. Slot's future at Liverpool remains uncertain following a disappointing campaign where the team failed to win any major trophies and is still fighting for a UEFA Champions League spot for next season. Ahead of Liverpool's Premier League trip to Aston Villa on May 15, the 47-year-old manager addressed his future, expressing confidence that he will lead the club next season. "I have every reason to believe that I will be Liverpool's manager next season," Slot said. "Plans for next season have already been laid out. Negotiations between the club and new players are underway, and I'm involved in that." The manager also confirmed that Mohamed Salah will be available for some minutes in the upcoming match after suffering an injury in late April. "Mo will be ready to play tomorrow, but only for a few minutes. Hopefully he can get some minutes. Ibou Konate is fine; he's been training with us. Alisson Becker is training with us again. We'll see tomorrow if he's ready to play or needs another week. Florian Wirtz has a stomach infection and is on antibiotics. We'll see if he's ready for tomorrow."
