Dutch coach Arne Slot has confirmed he has “signed a contract” to replace Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager.
Klopp, who has been in charge at Liverpool for nearly nine years, will leave the club after Sunday’s final Premier League game of the season against Wolves.
Feyenoord boss Slot featured on Liverpool’s list of candidates to replace Klopp and the two clubs reached an agreement in principle over a compensation package for Slot to move to Merseyside from the Netherlands in April.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, the 45-year-old said: “I can confirm that I will be a Liverpool coach next season.”
It comes after Klopp announced he was leaving the club in January because he was “running out of energy”.
