Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told Arne Slot he will be getting the “best job in the world” if the Feyenoord boss succeeds the German at Anfield. Klopp will step down at the end of this season and Slot is the leading contender to replace him after Liverpool opened talks with his Dutch club this week.

Speaking prior to Feyenoord’s win at Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday, Slot said he had “every confidence” Liverpool would strike a deal and admitted he was keen to take over from Klopp. The highly rated 45-year-old, who has previously been linked with Tottenham and Leeds, took Feyenoord to the Dutch title in 2022/23 and won the Dutch Cup earlier this month.
Liverpool’s Dutch captain Virgil van Dijk this week said Slot’s attacking philosophy could be a good fit at Anfield. Klopp also offered a positive review of Slot’s qualities, while emphasising the appeal to any manager of taking the reins at Liverpool. “I like the way his team plays football. If he is the one, I like that he wants it,” Klopp told reporters on Friday. “I don’t know him, but some people who know him say he’s a good guy. I like that a lot. So good coach, good guy. Looking forward for the club, if he is the solution, if he is the man, I’m more than happy. It’s the best job in the world, best club in the world. Great job, great team, fantastic people.”
