Jamie Carragher has warned Liverpool of the risks they may be taking if they appoint Arne Slot as the club's next manager.

This summer will see Jurgen Klopp leave his role at Anfield, ending close to a nine-year run as manager.

Klopp confirmed his decision on his departure back in January, and ever since there has been speculation around who could be his successor.

Slot has emerged as the leading candidate to become the next Liverpool manager and even addressed the speculation while taking charge of Feyenoord's Eredivisie clash against Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday night.

Slot has been in charge of Feyenoord since 2021 and guided the club to the Eredivisie title last season, and now Carragher has weighed in on the possibility of the Dutchman becoming the next Liverpool manager.

"If Klopp was in charge next season, Liverpool would move forward and challenge again at home and in Europe," he wrote in his column for The Telegraph.

It has not worked out at Bayern Munich this season, but you only have to look at Carlo Ancelotti and Unai Emery to recognise how top coaches recover from setbacks.

"If another English club takes Tuchel, that would convince me they will significantly improve, but my sense is Liverpool don’t want a coach with a reputation for being fractious.

"I would prefer a proven winner who could be difficult to manage to a coach who might be easy to manage but still have everything to prove.

"My overriding concern is this: does Slot move to England ready to take on Guardiola for the Premier League and Champions League?

The new Liverpool manager must say from the outset he is here to win, not just compete."
