Arne Slot gives an update on when he will be announced as Liverpool manager

Arne Slot has given a further update on when he could be officially named as Liverpool manager, admitting it is likely to go into his “final week” with Feyenoord.

Jurgen Klopp is set to leave the Reds this summer and Liverpool have already reached an agreement with the Eredivisie club for Slot to succeed the German at Anfield. However, his appointment has not yet been officially confirmed.

The Dutchman has previously insisted his appointment will be completed sooner rather than later and has not been confirmed in the protracted process

Both Liverpool and Feyenoord’s campaigns end on May 19, with the Dutch club’s position in second place in the Eredivisie already confirmed. Meanwhile, the Reds have qualified for next season’s Champions League and secured a top-three finish, although mathematically they still remain in contention for the Premier League title.

Speaking ahead of his penultimate game as Feyenoord manager, Slot revealed he expects his move to Liverpool to be announced within days.

“I say almost every time: It’s only going to be a matter of days,” he said. “That’s what I expect now.

“This kind of thing requires a little more than going to the store with a shopping list and checking off the purchases. These are things that have to be timed correctly and everything has to be worked out.

“There are sometimes some things attached. So that combination of factors means it hasn’t been communicated yet. But don’t worry, this will happen without a doubt.

“I’m not really someone who looks very far ahead, who would already think, ‘A week and a half from now, I might not be driving like this.’

“But when you’re in De Kuip last Sunday and the game is going the way it’s going, then you have that moment of achievement. That feeling can grow a little bit next week because it could easily be the last week.”

He continued: “I’m much more concerned with the fact that we have to play against NEC and how we’re going to play against them and maybe things going forward.

“I don’t like to look back that much, but occasionally you get asked something like, ‘What was your most special moment?’, or other questions that fans want to ask sometimes.

“Then sometimes you look beyond the list and think: it really was a great moment and what I experience every day is how great we can work at our training complex with fantastic people and a very nice group of players .”
