The disastrous sequence has placed Slot under intense examination, with the Dutchman now third-favourite amongst bookmakers to become the next league manager dismissed, trailing only Leeds' Daniel Farke and Fulham's Marco Silva.However, Biscan is adamant that Slot has already demonstrated his ability to navigate challenging circumstances after taking over from Jurgen Klopp as manager 18 months ago."There is pressure, but for every manager at that level, there is always pressure," he told BOYLE Sports. Even if he doesn't win the league, just by doing what he did last year, after what happened before he arrived and how difficult his job was, it was exceptional.""Everybody was saying it would be extremely difficult for him to really continue what Jurgen Klopp had done before him."He is a quality manager, and he deserves a lot of credit and he needs time.

We don't believe that he will be good enough for our team'."He's a special player.
