This summer, Arne Slot is expected to succeed Jurgen Klopp as manager of Liverpool; nevertheless, the Dutchman’s demands have made negotiations difficult. According to Arne Slot, a deal to take over as Liverpool’s manager is almost finalized, but the Dutchman will have to overcome opposition to bring his backroom staff from Feyenoord with him. After several productive conversations with new Kop kingmaker Michael Edwards, Slot will agree to terms to succeed Jurgen Klopp at the end of the current campaign. However, the Dutchman has acknowledged that some aspects still need to be worked out. He has also acknowledged that difficulties are impeding his plans to bring in head of performance Ruben Peeters, second assistant Etienne Reijnen, and assistant Sibke Hulshoff.
Liverpool has been informed that they will need to come up with an additional £2 million for Feyenoord’s dependable squad, despite having already agreed to pay him a £11 million compensation package for Slot. Hulshoff’s situation is further complicated by the fact that Liverpool wants him to begin his contract on July 1st, prior to the tournament’s conclusion. Hulshoff is traveling to Euro 2024 as Holland manager Ronald Koeman’s assistant this summer.
The 45-year-old Slot gave Dutch reporters confidence that he will be joining Anfield by stating, “I can’t discuss the details right now, but it is not about my contract.” The reason there hasn’t been an announcement yet is due to a number of issues. But don’t be alarmed. It will take place. Although I realize I’ve been saying this nonstop for the past week, I do anticipate that it will only be a matter of days from now. Some things simply require more time. After longtime goalkeeping coach John Achterberg chose to leave the team to follow Klopp, Slot is also looking for a new coach. Achterberg is about to accept a job offer from Saudi Pro League team Al-Ettifaq, where he will collaborate with former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.
Liverpool’s final match of Klopp’s eight and a half-year tenure will be against Wolves at an emotional Anfield on Sunday, before they take on top-four contender Aston Villa on Monday night. After witnessing Liverpool’s attempt to win a quadruple collapse in the weeks following their FA Cup elimination at the hands of Manchester United, the German is hoping for a successful conclusion to his time in office. A harsh test will come from Unai Emery’s side.
“We have a chance to score more than 80 points once more,” Klopp said. It is important to never take things like that for granted. Vila will want to have a great final home game after such an incredible season. They’ll most likely qualify for the Champions League.Though Unai is doing a great job, we’ll try it nonetheless. He is without a doubt one of the best in the business. No matter where he has gone, he has been successful. At Villa, he’s doing an incredible job. He constantly does a fantastic job leading his club, and we all know how important it can be for a team to qualify for the Champions League.
