The BBC have annouced Arne Slot as the new liverpool manager - see link

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cerryd0xkxzo

Welcome to Liverpool FC Arne !

Feyenoord boss Arne Slot has been confirmed as Liverpool's new manager.

The Reds agreed a compensation deal worth £9.4m with the Dutch club on Friday after the 45-year-old was identified as the man to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.

Klopp, who had been in charge of Liverpool since October 2015, left the club following their season-finale win against Wolves on Sunday.

Dutchman Slot will officially start at Liverpool on 1 June, subject to a work permit.

Arne Slot officially confirmed as Liverpool's new manager on a deal till 2027.

Ranked the best fit for the club's playing style and squad, plus topped data analysis - including the key overperformance metric - character research, market assessment and performance evaluation.

His ability to communicate and connect well, plus his willingness to be forward-thinking also appealed.

Slot's official title, it is being stressed, is head coach. Liverpool feel they have the operational structure, a squad with room for improvement, the facilities, and now the face in the dugout to continue to build on the back of the exceptional foundation Jürgen Klopp has laid.

 Does the 'key overperformance metric' mean he can perform miracles on a shoestring budget?  ;)

Scoop of the century ... /s

Seriously, though, I may not be ready for the Klopp era's ending. But, somehow, I am simultaneously ready for this new era to begin. It's a strange, almost contradictory feeling.

A new generation of top coaches is emerging. Alonso, Arteta etc

Let’s hope Arne Slot is one of the best. As Jurgen said - he deserves 100% from day one.

Welcome! Excited about this, Feyenoord are really enjoyable to watch and play with an impressive control of the game despite going for goals all the time so hopefully he can translate that to here.

Staff members Sipke Hulshoff, Etienne Reijnen, and Ruben Peeters will join Arne Slot. Feyenoord will reportedly receive 13 million euros for the four of them.

Love all out aggressive football but would love some control in matches as well next season. Sort of a quiet/loud/quiet/loud style.
