Feyenoord manager Arne Slot has confirmed his departure from the Dutch club to take over as Liverpool's next manager, succeeding Jurgen Klopp. The move comes after Liverpool reportedly agreed to pay Feyenoord a compensation fee of around 11 million euros ($11.7 million).
Slot, 45, has been in charge of Feyenoord since 2021, guiding the team to the Eredivisie title last season and the Dutch Cup this season. He has impressed with his attacking style of play and ability to develop young players.
Liverpool have been searching for a replacement for Klopp, who announced his departure at the end of the season after nine years in charge. Slot is seen as an ideal candidate due to his tactical acumen and his experience in developing a successful team.
Slot's last game in charge of Feyenoord will be on Sunday at home to Excelsior. On the same day, Klopp will bid farewell to Liverpool in a home match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The official announcement of Slot's appointment as Liverpool manager is expected to be made in the coming days. He will be tasked with continuing Liverpool's success in the Premier League and Europe.
