Liverpool Football Club is poised to welcome Arne Slot as its next manager after reaching a compensation agreement with Feyenoord reportedly worth up to £9.4 million.
The Dutchman is primed to succeed Jurgen Klopp, who announced his departure from Anfield at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season.
The Reds have finalized a deal with Feyenoord, agreeing to pay £7.7 million (9 million euros) upfront, along with a potential £1.7 million (2 million euros) in add-ons.
Slot’s managerial success at Feyenoord, leading them to the 2022-23 Eredivisie title and this season’s Dutch Cup triumph, has caught Liverpool’s attention. His attacking style of play, personality, and ability to nurture talent are cited as key factors in his selection for the job.
Slot, who expressed interest in managing in the Premier League when linked with Tottenham in 2023, has confirmed his desire to join Liverpool. Klopp, speaking highly of Slot’s coaching approach, expressed his approval of the potential appointment.
Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso and Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim were also linked with the managerial position, but Slot emerged as the frontrunner.
Slot’s journey to Liverpool has been marked by success, starting as a youth coach at PEC Zwolle before ascending to managerial roles at SC Cambuur and AZ Alkmaar. Despite his sacking from AZ Alkmaar in 2020, Slot’s managerial prowess has garnered widespread recognition.
