Arne Slot is set to replace Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager, with a deal agreed between the Reds and Feyenoord. Slot, 45, currently in charge at Feyenoord, expressed his desire to join Liverpool before his side’s 3-1 win over Go Ahead Eagles. “The clubs are negotiating, and I’m waiting for the result,” he said. “My desire to go to Liverpool is no secret. I’m now waiting for the clubs to reach an agreement, and I have no doubt that they will.”
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed on social media that Slot will take the reins at Anfield once Klopp departs at the end of the season. “Compensation agreement between Feyenoord and LFC finalized, with all contract details for Slot set. Done deal!”
Slot emerged as the clear favorite for the Liverpool job, ahead of other candidates such as Alonso, Roberto De Zerbi, Ruben Amorim, Thomas Tuchel, and Thomas Frank. The Dutchman’s move to Merseyside is now imminent, with the formalities expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
