Liverpool, who have shown interest in young European results leaders such as Xabi Alonso and Ruben Amorim, are committed to bringing in Feyenoord’s Arne Slot as their new manager, and the two clubs are in intense negotiations.
The Dutch manager, who is expected to continue the lineage left by Jurgen Klopp while developing his own football and building a team that can compete for titles with the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal, is close to taking charge at Anfield.
The 45-year-old has also made no secret of his desire to move to Liverpool, confessing to the media in his home country that he would love to take charge at Anfield. He has faith in the club, who are continuing discussions, and hopes negotiations can be concluded.
“I’d like to become new Liverpool manager, my intentions are clear,”
“The clubs are negotiating, so I’m still on hold.”
“We have to wait until an agreement is reached, but I have every confidence in that.”

Last season he won the Eredivisie and this season he led them to victory in the Dutch Cup.
However, he still lacks experience of leading at the top level and has not yet produced results in the Champions League or Europa League compared to the managers who have been rumoured.
Nevertheless, he is seen as a good fit for Liverpool’s history of attacking football and passion, and the senior management team is keen to bring him in. With the end of the season looming, can the Reds officially name a new manager?
