A report uncovers the true feelings of Liverpool players against the proposed shock successor, Arne Slot.
According to a harsh report, the signing of Arne Slot has disappointed the players at Liverpool. Liverpool executives attempted to persuade Xabi Alonso to take over as manager of the team after knowing of Jurgen Klopp’s historic decision to quit Anfield at the conclusion of the season. The Spaniard turned down a three-year contract offer from the Reds in order to keep up his fantastic work at Bayer Leverkusen. After that, Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim was being pursued by Liverpool. However, they were turned off by the 39-year-old when they found out that his agency had been attempting to use West Ham United’s rival interest as leverage to obtain a higher contract offer.
A number of other managers, including Thiago Motta, Thomas Frank, and Roberto De Zerbi, were also connected to Liverpool. But instead, they focused on Slot, the boss of Feyenoord. For Slot to join in the summer, Liverpool has agreed to a contract worth more than £9 million. The Dutchman believes that central defense needs to be strengthened badly, which may lead to the arrival of Willian Pacho or Goncalo Inacio on Merseyside.
Additionally, Slot might pressure Liverpool’s higher-ups to recruit some of his top Feyenoord players, like David Hancko, Lutsharel Geertruida, and Santiago Gimenez. In addition to being a fantastic coach who develops wingers, Slot speaks English fluently and is widely considered the most exciting coach in the Eredivisie at the moment.
Liverpool vs. Arne Slot: The players were “underwhelmed.”
However, Football Insider claims that his appointment has left the Liverpool team “privately unimpressed.”
Top players at Liverpool were not informed about Fenway Sports Group CEO Michael Edwards’ attempt to sign Slot. According to rumors, their response when they learned that Jesus would soon arrive was “lukewarm.” Slot will therefore need to start strong at Liverpool or else the players may start to lose interest in him. They are, after all, accustomed to being coached by Klopp, one of the greatest managers in the world. It’s unbelievable that there has already been discussion about Slot failing at Liverpool and being fired in less than two years.
Considering that Slot’s countryman hasn’t yet succeeded at Manchester United, some analysts and supporters might be concerned that Slot will become the next Erik ten Hag. If Slot is fired, Dutch columnist Jan Mulder believes that Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen would surprise everyone by running for the Liverpool position. “By mid-March, Club Brugge’s predicament had become so bad that the typical course of events was taken amid the dark days: head coach Deila was fired, and Nicky Hayen from Club NXT was named interim coach,” he recently stated. “On the day of the Belgian championship, Nicky Hayen will be ceremoniously named manager of Club Brugge. He will play a number of games in the Champions League the following year, drawing the focus of Manchester, Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern.
