Both sides have already started negotiations, the coach himself does not hide that he wants to try himself in the “Premier League” and it seems that only a few insignificant details remained in this saga.
Who is he – the new savior of the Liverpool team?
The 45-year-old A.Slot made his name in the Feyenoord club in Rotterdam.
In 2020-2021, the season before A. Slott became Feyenoord’s manager, the club was 29 points behind then-champion Ajax Amsterdam.
Rotterdam finished fifth, with the same number of points separating them from the top of the table as from the bottom three.
The face of the team under the legendary Dick Advocaat was not inspiring.
Two years have passed and everything has changed. The Rotterdam club became the champion and did it very convincingly, leading almost the entire season. It was a remarkable turnaround that eventually led English clubs to take an interest in the architect of this success story.

“The Athletic” writes that Crystal Palace and Leeds United were the first to pay attention to A.Slot, in 2023. adding the Dutchman to the list of possible successors to Jesse Marsch in February and holding talks with him in the Netherlands. The coach could not be convinced.
Tottenham went a little further and appeared to have already lured the specialist to North London in May of the same year.
It seemed that “Feyenoord” was resigned to the loss, but A.Slot unexpectedly decided to stay. Spurs then had to look for a back-up option and that was Ange Postecoglou.
Almost a year has passed, and A.Slot’s stock continues to rise. Feyenoord failed to defend their Eredivisie title, but were only hindered by PSV Eindhoven’s excellent campaign, with the club losing just once all season.
