Slot confirmed as head coach & more Klopp reaction – Latest Liverpool FC News

Monday has been a significant day in Liverpool’s History, with Arne Slot confirmed as Jurgen Klopp‘s replacement at Anfield less than 24 hours after the German’s farewell.

 

Slot confirmed as new head coach

So it’s official then – Slot will become the 21st permanent manager of Liverpool Football Club on June 1 after signing a three-year deal.

The club confirmed the news on Monday, with the 45-year-old taking over from Klopp after his nine-season spell came to an end.

It is a monumental challenge for Slot, who comes in from Feyenoord – the Dutchman won the Eredivisie title last season and is seen as the best fit for the job.

The Telegraph‘s Chris Bascombe reports Slot “vowed to build on Klopp’s foundations” and that he views Darwin Nunez as “critical” to moving Liverpool forward.

Here’s to the next great chapter in the Reds’ History…
