Feyenoord technical director Dennis te Kloese has stated that the club assumes manager Arne Slot will still be in charge next season, amidst speculation linking him with a move to Liverpool.
Slot’s Impressive Record
Slot has guided Feyenoord to their first Eredivisie title in six years during his tenure. His impressive performance has caught the attention of several top European clubs, including Liverpool, who are seeking a successor to Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool’s Interest
Liverpool had initially targeted Xabi Alonso as their preferred choice, but the Spaniard opted to remain with Bayer Leverkusen. The Reds have since turned their attention to Slot, considering him a strong candidate for the role.
Feyenoord’s Response
Te Kloese acknowledged that Slot has attracted interest due to his remarkable achievements. However, he emphasized that Feyenoord is confident in Slot’s commitment to the club and expects him to stay beyond the current season. The club is prepared to resist any attempts to lure him away.
Van Basten’s Praise
Dutch football legend Marco van Basten has lauded Slot’s abilities, highlighting his tactical acumen, leadership skills, and ability to connect with players. Van Basten believes Slot possesses the qualities to succeed at a club of Liverpool’s stature.
Slot’s Future
While rumors continue to circulate, Feyenoord remains optimistic that Slot will stay with the club. Te Kloese’s comments suggest that the club is not actively entertaining the possibility of his departure. However, with Liverpool reportedly considering Slot a potential target, the situation could potentially change in the future.
