Liverpool finally disclose details about their next manager.
Arne Slot is set to undertake a monumental task in the world of soccer as he steps into the shoes of Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool's manager.
The announcement of Slot's appointment came on Monday, following the sealing of a long-term contract with the six-time European Cup winners and 19-time English champions.
He enters a position previously held by an Anfield legend in Klopp, who famously ended Liverpool's 30-year drought for the English title in 2020 and achieved a comprehensive collection of major trophies during his tenure at the Merseyside club.
Slot arrives with an impressive track record of his own, having led Feyenoord to the Dutch title last year and securing the Dutch Cup this season.
His appointment is scheduled to officially commence on June 1, with his contract extending through to 2027.
The anticipation surrounding Slot's appointment had been building for some time, with the 45-year-old Dutchman confirming talks with Liverpool as early as April and announcing himself as Klopp's successor just last week.

With Slot now at the helm, Liverpool fans will eagerly anticipate his ability to continue the club's legacy of success, placing their trust in Edwards' keen eye for coaching talent. Despite other contenders like Xabi Alonso and Ruben Amorim, Slot emerged as the chosen successor to lead.
