Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has remained coy over whether he will remain at the helm of the Merseyside club next season.
The Spaniard has had to endure some rough weather this term, with early exits in the Champions League and both domestic cup competitions having had an adverse effect on the club.
And with his charges' top four credentials having been fiercely challenged, there has been heavy speculation surrounding the gaffer's future.
Liverpool also recently lost 1-0 to Lille in France in the Europa League, and must overturn the result in the return leg at Anfield to ensure progression into the next round.
When quizzed as to whether his side would finish in the top four and secure Champions League football next season, Rafa told the News of the World: "I think I will have to guarantee now that we will work as hard as we did against Lille."
When pressed as to whether he would remain as the Reds' manager next term, he said: "I am sure that we will try to win against Portsmouth and after against Lille."
Benitez has been linked with taking a managerial position at Juventus, and more recently with Real Madrid following the Spanish capital club's exit in the Champions League.
