Liverpool has set their sights on Feyenoord manager Arne Slot as their top target to succeed Jurgen Klopp as manager this summer, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein. Klopp’s decision to step down at the end of the 2023/24 season has prompted Liverpool to embark on a search for a new coach, and Slot has emerged as their preferred candidate. The Dutch manager has enjoyed a successful tenure in Rotterdam, guiding Feyenoord to a strong campaign in the Eredivisie. His impressive style of play and ability to develop young players have caught the attention of several top clubs, including Barcelona and Bayern Munich. However, Liverpool is believed to be in pole position to secure Slot’s services, as they have reportedly already made contact with both the manager and Feyenoord. The Reds are expected to face a challenge in negotiations, as Feyenoord is reluctant to lose their highly-rated boss. Slot reportedly came close to joining Tottenham Hotspur last summer but ultimately decided against the move. Liverpool will now hope to persuade him to make the switch to Anfield and lead them into a new era. The appointment of Slot would bring clarity to Liverpool’s future and give fans a sense of optimism after Klopp’s departure.
