Arne Slot will take on one of the most daunting challenges in soccer by replacing Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager. Slot was confirmed on Monday after he signed a long-term contract with the six-time European Cup winner and 19-time English champion. He will follow in the footsteps of an Anfield icon in Klopp, who ended Liverpool’s 30-year wait for the English title in 2020 and won a full set of major trophies in his time at the Merseyside club. Slot comes in with a winning record of his own after leading Feyenoord to the Dutch title last year and following that with the Dutch Cup this season. He will formally take up his role on June 1 and his contract runs through to 2027, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the details of the contract have not been made public. |
