Arne Slot Confirms He Is Taking Liverpool Job Next Season

Feyenoord coach, Arne Slot, has confirmed that he will be taking over as the manager of Liverpool next season following Jurgen Klopp’s departure from the Premier League club at the end of the current campaign.

“I can confirm that I will become the trainer there next year,” Slot told a news conference, according to ESPN.

Feyenoord confirmed Slot’s departure, posting a video on X saying: “The Arne Slot era is coming to an end. Let’s enjoy the last moments.”

Liverpool have not yet announced Klopp’s successor, as the German manager will depart after the team’s last match of the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.

Slot, who has been in charge of the Dutch club since 2021, secured the Eredivisie league championship in 2022-23 and claimed the KNVB Cup this season. Additionally, Feyenoord made it to the final of the Europa Conference League in his debut season with the club.

In January, Jurgen Klopp revealed his decision to depart Liverpool after this season. While Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso and Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim were previously rumored as potential candidates, Slot is now assured to assume the managerial role.

Having extended his contract with Feyenoord until 2026 after the previous season, reports suggest that Liverpool will need to compensate the Dutch club with an undisclosed fee to secure Slot’s services.
