Feyenoord coach Arne Slot says he will be the Liverpool manager next season

Feyenoord coach Arne Slot confirmed one of soccer’s worst-kept secrets: He is the next Liverpool manager.

Slot has previously gone public about his negotiations with Liverpool, although the English club hasn’t officially commented on his impending arrival as the replacement for Jurgen Klopp.

“I can confirm that I will be the coach at Liverpool next season,” said Slot, speaking at a news conference on Friday ahead of Feyenoord’s final game of the Dutch season on Sunday against Excelsior.
