Liverpool Confirm Dutchman Arne Slot As New Manager

Feyenoord coach Arne Slot was Monday confirmed as Jurgen Klopp’s successor at Liverpool by the Premier League club.

Liverpool said in a statement that the Dutchman, 45, would take up the position of head coach on June 1, subject to a work permit.

The Dutchman has signed a three-year deal, tying him to the premier league club until the summer of 2027, and will start work on 1 June according to sky sports.

Slot’s arrival has been an open secret, with Liverpool reportedly agreeing a compensation deal worth up to £9.4 million ($12 million).

In a change from tradition, he will become the club’s first head coach rather than manager.
