After three months of rumours and speculation, Liverpool have decided to appoint Arne Slot as their new manager.

In the end, things moved extraordinarily quickly after it emerged that Slot was the new front-runner earlier this week.

From there, the likes of Ruben Amorim never had a look in.



With a couple of members of Slot’s coaching staff also on the way to Liverpool, the Reds will likely follow the Dutch club’s lead in terms of when they’ll go public.

In the meantime, reaction will continue to pour in from the footballing world.

And for the first time, we’ve now heard inkling of how the Liverpool first-team squad have reacted to the big news.

The Liverpool players now find themselves in a slightly odd situation.

More than one player’s immediate future is in the balance and the new manager will have an impact on how that pans out.

Some may have expected a slightly bigger name to come after Jurgen, and might be disappointed with Slot.

Virgil van Dijk at least knows Sipke Hulshoff, Feyenoord’s assistant manager who is set to follow his boss to Anfield.

According to journalist Lewis Steele on X though, the Reds squad are ‘delighted’ by the impending arrival of Slot.

“Couple of sources close to dressing room say Liverpool squad are delighted with Arne Slot’s impending appointment,” Steele says.

Sure Virgil van Dijk will speak more on it tomorrow [Saturday].”

Like any new managerial appointment, there will be winners and losers in the Liverpool squad.

We’ve already taken a look at three players who may see their fortunes improve under Slot.

One of them will surely be Ryan Gravenberch.
