I’m fully focused on trying to finish this season with a reward, something tangible for the players and supporters."On the decision itself, Iraola added: "It was not an easy decision, but once it is made, you feel relief.

I feel we have used it in a positive way. We are in a good place and can use this in a positive way."Andoni Iraola continues to be linked with jobs in the Premier League(Image: (Photo by Catherine Ivill - AMA/Getty Images))It remains to be seen whether Iraola would be an option for Liverpool, but first there are decisions to be made over the future of Slot at the helm.The Dutch head coach impressed with the Premier League triumph in his debut campaign for the club, but his struggles this season have brought about questions over his positions.That was evident in Saturday's draw with Chelsea, as fans booed Slot on a few occasions during and after the game, as frustration continues to build.The head coach believes he can get the fans back on side, however, as he told the press after the game: "Yes, I do [believe I can win the fans back].

Not this season, by the way."This season they will have their opinion and it will not change. But if we can have the summer that we are planning to have, then I'm 100 per cent convinced that we will be a different team next season than we are now."Different in terms of results, different in how things look, but it's not always that simple because sometimes you know what you have to do, but it's not always possible to also get exactly what you want."For us, for me, it's really clear what we are lacking this season and we're trying with the players we have now because one of the things we are lacking is players that are fit."Whether that explanation for the drop off in form is enough to save his job is unclear, but pressure continues to mount.
