Jurgen Klopp has left Anfield and Arne Slot will take over as the new manager next season. He has a proven record at Feyenoord, winning the domestic league, and was also highly regarded for his style of play and management, including the development of young players.
He will be under intense pressure to replace the great general, but the Dutchman revealed how he felt at the time that he could not turn down the opportunity at Anfield. He decided to take up the challenge at Liverpool.
“It is certainly not an easy decision to close the door behind you at a club where you have experienced so many wonderful moments and worked successfully with so many wonderful people,” Slot told Feyenoord’s club website.
“But as a sportsman, an opportunity to become a head coach in the Premier League, at one of the biggest clubs in the world, is difficult to ignore.”

He will take over a team from a German manager who has won not only the Champions League and Premier League, but also the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, and is expected to maintain the ability to compete with the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal.
