Brendan Rodgers continues to believe he is the right manager for the job at Liverpool and that he'll return next season.

"Do I expect to be manager next season? Very much so, yes. I don't think there's anyone better," Rodgers said.

"That's the reality of how I see it. Three months ago I was a tactical genius, performing to a good level.

"We lost a couple of games, some important games, and now you're not so good. But that is football, that's what will happen, people will speculate."

Jurgen Klopp has been linked to the Liverpool job now that he's become available.

"There will always be people linked with this job because it's such a great club," Rodgers added.

"In my time alone there have been lots of names mentioned.

"This is a club that's worldwide so there's absolutely no problem, it's something that happens all the time if you lose a couple of games.

"We've had former managers linked here with the job before and that will continue for however long I'm here - whether you're doing good, bad or indifferent."
