Liverpool confirm when Arne Slot will start as manager after Jurgen Klopp announced appointment live on TV
ARNE SLOT has been officially announced as Liverpool manager.
The Feyenoord boss will replace Jurgen Klopp in the dugout following his emotional farewell at Anfield yesterday.
Klopp has been in charge for nine years but revealed earlier this season that he was stepping down at the end of the campaign.
He confirmed Slot was replacing him last night as he gave a speech to Liverpool supporters after their 2-0 win over Wolves.
The Dutchman will begin work on July 1 - subject to a work permit.
Liverpool's pre-season is set to begin in July, meaning he will have a few days to settle into his new office before the players return from their holidays.
Slot has reportedly signed a three-year deal with the Reds, according to The Telegraph.
And they also claim his first task will be to help Darwin Nunez and several of his team-mates "fulfil their potential".
The striker controversially did not applaud Klopp as the legendary manager said his goodbyes to Liverpool on the pitch yesterday.
Nunez has been linked with a move away to Barcelona.
Arne Slot's record is WORSE than Erik ten Hag's
ARNE SLOT is set to be tasked with a near-impossible job - replacing Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
Should he swap the Eredivisie for the Premier League, Slot will follow in the footsteps of fellow follically-challenged Dutchman Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag left Ajax to become Manchester United manager in 2022.
But he has suffered a nightmare spell at Old Trafford and appears to be a dead-man walking despite making the FA Cup final.
With Slot seemingly destined for Anfield, fans won't be able to help but compare his record in Holland with Ten Hag's.
And Reds supporters won't like what they see.
