(MENAFN) Liverpool football Club has officially announced the appointment of Dutch coach Arne Slot as their new manager, marking a significant transition for the renowned English Premier League side. At 45 years old, Slot is set to assume his role on June 1, taking over the managerial reins from the esteemed German coach Jurgen Klopp.
Klopp, whose departure has been met with both nostalgia and anticipation, bid a heartfelt farewell to Liverpool fans during Sunday's Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Under Klopp's leadership, Liverpool experienced a golden era, highlighted by notable triumphs such as the memorable 2019 UEFA Champions League victory. Additionally, Klopp guided the team to glory in the 2021-22 FA Cup, as well as securing the coveted 2019-20 Premier League title and the prestigious 2019-20 FIFA Club World Cup trophy.
"I love you all, I love all and everything about the club but it's time for me to go. But look, it's not burning behind me and that gives me a good feeling," stated the 56-year-old player in the farewell ceremony.
As Klopp passes the managerial torch to Arne Slot, Liverpool fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter in the club's storied history. On the contrary, Arne Slot guided Feyenoord, a Dutch Eredivisie club, to clinch both the league title in the 2022-23 season and the Dutch cup trophy in the 2023-24 season.
