Arne Slot To Become Liverpool FC’s New Head Coach July 1

Liverpool Football Club has announced that Arne Slot has agreed to become the club’s new head coach, starting on June 1, 2024, subject to obtaining a work permit.

The 45-year-old will join the Reds from Feyenoord for the 2024-25 season after agreeing to terms with the Eredivisie club.

Slot will take over as manager after Jürgen Klopp announced his decision to step down at the end of the current season.

The Netherlands-born coach will arrive after three highly successful seasons at Feyenoord, where he led them to the league title in 2023 and was named Eredivisie Manager of the Year twice.

More recently, he helped Rotterdam win the KNVB Cup in April by defeating NEC Nijmegen 1-0 in the final.

Prior to joining Feyenoord, Slot was the head coach of AZ Alkmaar, where he led them to second place in the table, trailing leaders Ajax by a goal difference, when the Dutch season was cancelled due to COVID-19 in 2019-20.

During his playing career, he primarily played as a midfielder for FC Zwolle, NAC Breda, Sparta Rotterdam, and PEC Zwolle before retiring in 2013.

He will soon become Liverpool FC’s first Dutch head coach, with his first pre-season in charge of the squad scheduled to begin in July.
