For Liverpool, it took a season of hard work, but in the final stage, it lost one after another, from the fourth-tier title to the two-line exit, leaving only the theoretical championship chance of the league and a League Cup title, which is undoubtedly a pity for Liverpool fans. After the change of management and the early departure of manager Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool team, which had become the hegemon of Europe, has also been replaced by the old and the new, and their first task is to find the right manager to become the new successor after Klopp.
According to English media reports, Liverpool's management has negotiated with Feyenoord's Slot, and the two sides have also reached an intention to cooperate, Slot made it clear in an interview that he wants to coach Liverpool, and he also believes that the club is willing to let him leave the team to meet his idea of coaching Liverpool. He also said that taking charge of Liverpool is an important step in his career and the most important opportunity, and he is waiting for the final result from the club. Judging by the reported news, the deal could be completed within a week at the earliest.
The reason why it is a deal rather than a direct signing is that Slot and the club have previously completed the contract extension, and his managerial contract will not expire until 2026, which also means that Liverpool must pay a liquidated penalty to Feyenoord to complete the transaction, and the liquidated damages are around 10 million euros, which Liverpool also agreed. In the communication and negotiation between the three parties, Liverpool and Slote have already stated that Feyenoord will not force retention, as long as a suitable replacement is found, the deal will not be too much of a problem.
Slot's achievements in coaching Feyenoord in the Eredivisie are still remarkable, but whether he can lead Liverpool to create miracles again needs to be put on a question mark, especially when Ten Hag, who is also from the Eredivisie, has not satisfied the club with the results achieved during his tenure at Manchester United, whether Slote can ensure that Liverpool can still participate in the Premier League title after losing Klopp, and make a difference in the Champions League, is a test for him. The first thing to ensure is that Liverpool's squad is competitive enough.
Judging from the strength of the squad alone, Liverpool's ability to participate in the championship and get the results it has today is already the ceiling of this team, and it will definitely need to be readjusted next. Judging from the current news, the first thing to be solved after Slote's arrival is Salah's contract renewal, Liverpool's number one star's current contract still has 1 year to expire, and the two sides have no intention of renewing the contract, and Liverpool's financial budget needs to sell players to ensure enough reinforcement fees, cleaning Salah in exchange for enough transfer fees, it is undoubtedly the best choice, the current Saudi league for Salah has reached 75 million pounds, and whether to agree to this deal depends on Slot's attitude towards this matter.
