Liverpool have not yet settled on Arne Slot as the absolute favourite to replace Jurgen Klopp.
The Dutchman is, however, a candidate to be taken seriously, with the Reds set to continue assessing alternative candidates ahead of the summer.
“The 45-year-old’s attacking brand of football appeals to Liverpool, along with his impressive track record of developing young talent,” James Pearce wrote for The Athletic. “However, his appointment is not a done deal with Liverpool continuing to assess the merits of other candidates.”
The former AZ Alkmaar boss has a contract with the incumbent Eredivisie champions until 2026.
A big step up for an Eredivisie boss
The recent example of Erik ten Hag’s spell with Manchester United – which could come to a close at the end of the season – hardly bodes well for Liverpool.
Not to suggest that every coach who follows the 54-year-old to the Premier League will suffer similar effects as a result of the leap from Dutch top-flight football to England.
However, that has to be a very real concern for our decision-makers, regardless of whether or not Slot profiles well statistically.
It’s a very serious question that must be asked: Are we confident the Feyenoord boss can be a success at a club of Liverpool’s size and magnitude?
How confident are we?
