Arne Slot used his prematch news conference to bid farewell to his club.
“I can confirm that I will become the trainer there next year,” Slot told a news conference.
“Until now I was not thinking about this being the buildup to my last match, but that starts coming now,” Slot said.
“At the beginning of the week you are thinking about training and those kind of things. But the feeling gets stronger now.
That is why I’m a little bit late now [for the news conference], because I wanted to say goodbye to some people personally and take time for them, more than just shaking hands.
“So yeah, the feeling grows. I understand that good results help, but it is very nice to feel that people really are thinking it’s a pity that I’m leaving.
You can say that with words, but you can feel it if people truly think that way. That does mean a lot to me.”
Slot, 45, has made his name in Feyenoord’s history during three severe years, ending in a relentless pursuit of the Eredivisie title. His final game at Feyenoord is on Sunday, a hard farewell amid whispers of his imminent move to Anfield.
Slot’s revelation adds a real sense of expectation to Liverpool’s fans, who is already buzzing with excitement. The Merseyside crowd, used to Klopp’s passionate touchline theatrics, are now enthusiastically awaiting the start of a new era under the Dutch tactician.
While Liverpool keeps quiet on the subject, behind the scenes talks have reached an end with a reported compensation sum of £9.4 million paving the way for Slot’s big debut.
Such figures show the importance of a managerial shift as Liverpool embarks for the next chapter in its illustrious history.
Slot’s time at Feyenoord shown a solid commitment to offensive football, which matches Liverpool’s mindset of constant pressing and quick counterattacks.
For Liverpool’s hierarchy, Slot’s appointment is a calculated gamble, a daring step into the unknown.
Given the uncertainty, there is a glimmer of hope that Slot’s tactical brilliance and unalterable commitment can inaugurate in a new age of glory at Anfield.
As Slot leaves Feyenoord, emotions run high in the Dutch heartland. His leaving signifies the end of an era, a sorrowful goodbye to a coach who resurrected a dormant powerhouse.
Among the tears and tributes, there is a common sense of pride, recognizing Feyenoord’s essential role in molding Slot’s managerial journey.
