Liverpool are progressing in their discussions to name Feyenoord manager Arne Slot as Jurgen Klopp's successor
No one could've predicted what impact Jurgen Klopp would've had at Liverpool when he was appointed as manager in October 2015.
Slot made a public declaration of his intentions to become the next Liverpool manager on Thursday, before Feyenoord's 3-1 win away at Go Ahead Eagles and a deal has now been struck between the Dutch and English giants. "Feyenoord were in the doldrums, still a big name, but financially struggling with mediocre players that played awful football and Ajax were so far ahead of them that taking over them felt like a pipedream.Famously, Klopp spoke about turning Liverpool fans from doubters to believers and he has done that, but it hasn't always been plain sailing.
"That’s why fans in Rotterdam love him because they’re similar to Liverpool fans, working class, like to be entertained, in the dugout who shares their values and is not like a Jose Mourinho." "It is probably the biggest question," adds Langendorff , who works for Algemeen Dagblad. "Will he be able to cope with the day-to-day scrutiny of Liverpool? Which is 10 or maybe 20 times the size of Feyenoord. I’ve read the quotes about ‘not an exciting name to be dropped’ it will be a difficult one.
With these foundations in place, as well as the embarrassment of riches within the Kirkby academy, Slot has plenty of potential to work with when he arrives at Anfield. "If you look at the pool of talent at Liverpool, that’s something he likes to work with, he likes players he can still mould and Liverpool already have rejuvenated their squad so I think he’ll be happy with the current crop.
