Liverpool are showing interest in appointing Feyenoord’s Arne Slot as their new manager this summer.
Slot has emerged as a strong candidate in the recruitment process led by Michael Edwards, the new chief executive officer of football for Fenway Sports Group, and incoming sporting director Richard Hughes.
Liverpool have been exploring potential new managers through intermediaries rather than direct interviews, and Slot is among the frontrunners for the position.
The 45-year-old has achieved consistent success with Feyenoord since taking over from Dick Advocaat in 2021, and previously at AZ as well.
He guided the Rotterdam club to the inaugural Europa Conference League final in his first season, securing a third-place finish in Eredivisie.
In his second season, Feyenoord clinched the league title, and recently won the KNVB Cup with a 1-0 victory over NEC Nijmegen.
Slot’s accomplishments on a relatively modest budget and his team’s aggressive playing style have attracted widespread interest, including from Tottenham last season.
Liverpool may face competition from Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Milan for his services this summer, as he will have two years remaining on the contract he extended with Feyenoord last May.
Although Xabi Alonso had been considered a frontrunner for the Liverpool vacancy, he committed himself to Bayer Leverkusen shortly before leading the club to their first Bundesliga title.
Sporting’s Rúben Amorim and Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi are also under consideration by Liverpool.
