Liverpool will be managed by Arne Slott beyond the end of the current season after the Premier League club agreed a severance deal with Feyenoord Rotterdam on Friday night to release the coach from his contract.
It is worth 10 million euros, and the agreement is a fact. The 45-year-old specialist will sign his contract on May 20, the day after the end of the season in England.
He replaces Jurgen Klopp, who has led Liverpool since October 2015, turning his team into a major factor not only in the Premier League, but also in Europe. The German’s team played three finals in the Champions League, one in the Europa League, became the champion of England for the first time in 30 years and definitely the Liverpool club is at a completely different level to what it was found by Klopp.
But his time is coming to an end – in January the German announced that he was leaving.
Slott has relatively little experience in terms of years in the coaching profession, but in three seasons at Feyenoord he won the title and the national cup. At the same time – without making a transfer more expensive than 8 million euros.
In Liverpool, he will find world stars such as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, and according to unofficial information, this summer he will also receive about 150 million euros for new players.
Confirmation of the club-level deal came from Rotterdam this evening, but another interesting detail emerged from England.
It is not clear whether Slott will be the manager of the club, which was the position of Klopp – with full power and the last word on transfers, with the right to dictate the situation in the academy…
Or will he be the head coach – meaning the new sporting and executive directors Liverpool have appointed in recent weeks will have more weight in player deals than him.
