Liverpool Announces Arne Slot as New Manager to Succeed Klopp

Posted : 21 May 2024

Arne Slot has officially been named as Liverpool's new manager, succeeding Jürgen Klopp at Anfield. The 45-year-old, who bid farewell to Dutch club Feyenoord after a 4-0 victory against Excelsior in Rotterdam, is set to assume his role at Liverpool on June 1, signing a three-year contract that extends until the end of the 2026-27 season.

 

Liverpool reached an agreement with Feyenoord earlier this month, compensating them with £9.4 million ($11.9m) for Slot's services. Despite the delay in announcing his appointment to avoid overshadowing Klopp's departure, Slot confirmed the news in his final Feyenoord news conference, expressing his anticipation to join Liverpool.

 

Slot emerged as the preferred choice after a meticulous evaluation process by Liverpool, considering candidates like Bayer Leverkusen's Xabi Alonso and Sporting CP's Rúben Amorim. His track record of overperformance and his style of dynamic, possession-based football aligned with Liverpool's vision, making him the ideal successor to Klopp.

 

Slot's tenure begins with a preseason friendly against Real Betis in Pittsburgh on July 26, marking the start of a new era for Liverpool after Klopp's illustrious 8½-year reign culminated with a third-place finish in the Premier League and a memorable home win over Wolves.
