April 26, (THEWILL) – Feyenoord Manager, Arne Slot, has openly declared his desire to succeed Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool’s next boss. The 45-year-old Dutch tactician confirmed the reports linking him to the Anfield hot seat, admitting his decision is clear amid ongoing negotiations between the two clubs.
Speaking to ESPN on Thursday, Slot stated, “I want to be Liverpool’s next manager, my decision is clear. Feyenoord and Liverpool are in talks to negotiate, I’m waiting for what comes of it. I’m confident, waiting for the clubs to reach an understanding.” His candid comments came just moments before taking charge of Feyenoord’s game against Go Ahead Eagles.
Slot’s revelation adds another twist to the managerial position at Liverpool, with Klopp set to depart at the season’s end after a highly successful tenure. Several high-profile names, including Sporting’s Ruben Amorim, have been tipped as potential successors to the charismatic German.
The Dutch coach’s boldness in publicly voicing his ambitions is a remarkable move, potentially putting pressure on both clubs to finalise a deal swiftly. His statements came on the same day PSV virtually claimed the Eredivisie title, further fuelling speculation about his future.
As Liverpool embark on their search for Klopp’s replacement, Slot’s emphatic interest has thrust him into the spotlight, setting the stage for an intriguing managerial saga in the coming weeks.
