EPL: Liverpool Confirm Arne Slot As Jurgen Klopp’s Successor

Liverpool have confirmed Arne Slot as their new head coach.

The Feyenoord boss, who will start his new role on June 1, replaces Jurgen Klopp, who took charge of his final Liverpool game against Wolves on Sunday after the German spent the last nine years at Anfield.

Sky Sports News understands Slot has signed a three-year deal that runs until the summer of 2027.

In a departing message to Feyenoord fans, Slot said: “It is certainly not an easy decision to close the door behind you at a club where you have experienced so many wonderful moments, and worked so successfully with so many wonderful people.

“But as a sportsman, an opportunity to become a head coach in the Premier League, at one of the biggest clubs in the world, is difficult to ignore. I am grateful to Feyenoord for their willingness to cooperate in this transition.”

Slot secured the Dutch Cup in April and led Feyenoord to their first title in six years in the 2022-23 season.

During his time at Liverpool, Klopp won the Champions League in 2019, the Premier League in 2020, as well as the 2022 FA Cup and two Carabao Cup trophies in 2022 and 2024. He also won the Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup trophies in 2019.

Klopp announced his Liverpool departure in January of this year, citing a lack of energy to continue managing the club at the highest level.
