Liverpool players’ sentiments on Arne Slot’s appointment revealed after club’s £9.4m agreement.

Arne Slot is reportedly poised to depart Feyenoord and take on a managerial role at Liverpool, marking the end of Jurgen Klopp’s lengthy reign at Anfield. The transition comes as a significant change for the Liverpool players, as Klopp has been their sole manager since 2015, except for Joe Gomez.

The potential appointment of Slot has progressed rapidly, with Feyenoord reaching an agreement with Liverpool for a compensation fee that could reach £9.4 million. Despite the magnitude of Klopp’s departure, it is reported that the Liverpool players are pleased with the decision to bring in Slot as his successor.

As an accomplished figure in the Eredivisie, Slot guided Feyenoord to a league title last season and a recent victory in the KNVB Cup, showcasing an exciting and aggressive style of play. Players are expected to discuss Slot’s potential leadership before and after the upcoming match against West Ham.

However, they remain focused on finishing the current era under Klopp strongly. In the Premier League, Liverpool is trailing behind both Arsenal and Manchester City in the table.

With only four matches left to play, the race for the top spots is intensifying. City, the current frontrunners, are expected to maintain stability with Guardiola and Arteta at their helm, while Liverpool may face a challenging period under Slot if he takes charge.

As Slot has only managed in the Netherlands, previously at Feyenoord, Cambuur, and AZ Alkmaar, adapting to the English culture and the demands of the Premier League could present a significant challenge for him.
