Coach Arne Slot confirmed that he is waiting for the results of negotiations between Liverpool and Feyenoord before being able to sit in the hot seat at Anfield.

“I want to become the new coach of Liverpool. My decision is very clear,” ESPN quoted Arne Slot as saying. “Feyenoord and Liverpool have been negotiating. I am waiting to see what happens.”

“I am confident and waiting for both sides to reach a final agreement,” the 45-year-old coach asserted.

Initially, “The Kop” chose Xabi Alonso, but the Spanish coach declared he would not leave Bayer Leverkusen. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim of Sporting Lisbon seems unwilling to leave the team. Therefore, Liverpool turned to Arne Slot.

Arne Slot is one of the rising coaches in Dutch football. He helped Feyenoord win the league championship in the 2022/23 season. Before that, under the guidance of the 45-year-old coach, the Dutch team reached the Conference League final.

This season, Feyenoord continues to impress by finishing second in the league, trailing PSV Eindhoven by 9 points with three rounds left, while also winning the KNVB Cup.

Arne Slot is considered to have a style similar to Jurgen Klopp, characterized by enthusiasm and dedication to football. His ability to improve the collective level with a smaller budget than competing teams is also a strength of this coach.

Under Arne Slot’s guidance, Feyenoord plays an attacking style of football with strong pressing in the opponent’s half, while also ensuring solidity in defense to aim for victory.
