The search for Jurgen Klopp’s replacement is nearing its end at Liverpool. The English club reached an agreement with Arne Slot and Feyenoord, from the Netherlands. The English will pay large fines to take the current Dutch champion to England.
Dutch champion last season, Arne Lost is 45 years old, has been at Feyenoord since 2021 and has received praise from Klopp in recent days. The German said he “likes how his team (Arne) plays.”
He also recently won the Dutch Cup. In the current national league, PSV leads the tournament with a nine-point advantage over Feyenoord with three rounds remaining in the competition.
– It’s no secret that I would like to be Liverpool’s new coach. My decision is clear. Feyenoord and Liverpool are negotiating, and I’m waiting to see what will happen. I am confident and hope that the clubs reach an agreement, he said this Thursday.
Coach Jürgen Klopp announced in January that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the current season, despite having a contract with the club until 2026. Since then, the English have been looking for a consensus name to replace the commander, and several names have been linked to the club in the European press. Xabi Alonso, former Liverpool player, was one of the most talked about, but indicated that he will remain at Bayer Leverkusen. Another option considered was Rúben Amorim, from Sporting.
