Feyenoord head coach Arne Slot has emerged as a leading candidate in the search for Jurgen Klopp’s successor at Liverpool.

The Dutchman is on the shortlist having satisfied many of the relevant criteria set during the club’s recruitment process.

Slot led Feyenoord to the KNVB Cup last weekend and previously masterminded their Eredivisie title triumph in 2022-23.

The 45-year-old’s attacking brand of football appeals to Liverpool, along with his impressive track record of developing young talent.

However, his appointment is not a done deal with Liverpool continuing to assess the merits of other candidates.

Slot, who turned down Tottenham Hotspur last year, is attracting interest from a number of other top European clubs and Feyenoord remain keen to retain his services.

His current contract runs until 2026 and there is no release clause.

Liverpool’s search for Klopp’s replacement started last November after he informed the owners that he intended to stand down at the end of the season.

Klopp subsequently made his decision public in January.

The process is being led by Fenway Sports Group’s CEO of football Michael Edwards, alongside new sporting director Richard Hughes.
