Liverpool are exploring all over Europe to fill the managerial vacancy left by the German, Jurgen Klopp’s impending departure, with Feyenoord’s Dutchman Arne Slot coming into the mix of managers that Liverpool are potentially targeting.
Initially linked with Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon as a prominent contender, now the Dutchman comes into the long list of managers.
Currently, Arne Slot is having a great stint with Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, and a recent KNVB Cup triumph has increased his credentials.
Slot’s potential move to Anfield comes amidst Ruben Amorim’s discussions with West Ham United, signaling a potential shift in Liverpool’s managerial pursuit.
The Dutch Man Move To Premier League
Dean Jones says that Arne Slot’s eventual move to the Premier League was anticipated, but not certainly to a club of Liverpool’s magnitude.
He said,
“One of the new names that suddenly emerged over the weekend was Arne Slot, which came at an interesting time because there were signs that a surprise could come if Amorim didn’t land the job.
At Feyenoord, Slot won the league last year and sees his side second in the table this time around.
He will inevitably jump to the Premier League at some point, but it was not anticipated that it would be as big a job as Liverpool just yet.”
Liverpool’s focus now lies on their Premier League title charge that they have in hand to give Jurgen Klopp the farewell that he deserves.
However, Arne Slot presents a fascinating alternative, characterized as a ‘Pep Guardiola-style manager’ by Dutch journalist Marcel van der Kraan.
As Liverpool navigate managerial uncertainties and a long list of injuries, the pursuit of Slot highlights the club’s thirst for a successor who can continue the legacy of success at Anfield.
