Liverpool academy coach Jay Spearing is confident Arne Slot would be a great fit for the club, though believes the job of replacing Jurgen Klopp is going to be a ‘difficult role’ for any incoming manager.

‘He’s a manager that would maybe suit the Liverpool style, on the front foot, wanting to score goals, wanting to play attractive football, has a certain way of playing the game, but also wants to be a real nut to crack as well.

Spearing feels it is important that Liverpool are able to keep hold of their ‘key players’ as they enter a period of transition in the post-Klopp era.

‘They knew Jurgen was on his way and when Jurgen leaves it will be an incredible loss but, for the future of the club, there are going to be big decisions on players.

‘He’s shown that he can handle a big club, Feyenoord is a big club in Holland, and fingers crossed whoever comes in can keep key players because Liverpool don’t want to be in that transition mode where we start losing key players as well as Jurgen Klopp.’



As well as it being disappointing to see Jurgen leave, it’s a really exciting time for the club, a new start and new way of going forward hopefully.’
