Liverpool have announced the appointment of Arne Slot as their new manager – officially bringing the curtain down on the nine-year spell for Jurgen Klopp, and entering a new era in which fans will hope they can continue to challenge for titles with a three-year deal awarded.
Jurgen Klopp took charge of his final game on Sunday as Liverpool defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers at home. On the same day, Slot also said farewell to Feyenoord, and he confirmed last week that he would be taking over from Klopp at Anfield. After the game against Wolves, Klopp said goodbye to the Liverpool supporters in an emotional speech, and he proceeded to wax lyrical about Slot, chanting his name before the fans joined in. Klopp and Slot decided to take matters into their own hands by strongly suggesting that he would come into the helm – and now the club have officially announced his arrival.
