My decision is clear, I want to be the next manager of Liverpool. Feyenoord and Liverpool are negotiating, and I am eagerly awaiting the developments. I’m confident, I’m just waiting for the parties to agree
– said the Dutch specialist to ESPN, who is now mentioned as the number one prospect for Liverpool’s bench. Despite the fact that Slot has a live contract with Feyenoord until 2026, his buyout price would be a symbolic amount at Liverpool’s level, so finances should certainly not be a problem. Moreover, the Dutch team captain of the club, Virgil van Dijk, spoke highly of the specialist, whose philosophy of play allows him to become Liverpool’s coach.
By the way, during the first round of negotiations, Slot made an extremely positive impression on Liverpool’s management, which sees a serious opportunity in signing him and in putting a long-term successful head coach on the club’s bench again after Jürgen Klopp. It is interesting that the 45-year-old specialist previously negotiated with an English top team, but then Tottenham could not offer him ideal personal conditions.
In 2019, Slot received his first appointment as a head coach at AZ Alkmaar. In a year and a half, he managed the team in 58 games, with which he averaged a particularly good 1.93 points, and in addition, his team scored more than two goals in these games.
At Feyenoord, he voted for the aggressive attacking game as well. In the season that brought the championship title, they scored 2.4 goals, and in the current one – the team will in all probability be second behind PSV – 2.56 goals per league. By the way, they won the Dutch Cup together this season. It is characteristic of the Dutch specialist that he is particularly good at the individual development of players and boldly reaches out to self-educated footballers, which would be crucial in the case of Liverpool, as several promising talents are emerging from the club’s academy.
