JAKARTA - Feyenoord coach Arne Slot confirmed he would become Liverpool's new coach to replace Juergen Klopp, AFP reported on Friday, May 17, local time.
In line with Slot's statement, Feyenoord also announced that he was preparing a farewell ceremony for the Dutch coach in the last match against Excelsior at the de Kuip Stadium on Sunday (19/5).
"There has been no official announcement yet. But I don't think this is news for you that I will be the coach there (Liverpool) for next season," Slot told reporters, reported by ANTARA, Saturday, May 18.
"The feeling that I will leave here is getting stronger. There are some people I don't want to shake hands with just like that," said the former Sparta Rotterdam midfielder.

"You can see people really sad when you leave," he said. "You can say that with words, but when you see their faces directly, it really affects me," he concluded.
