Liverpool are interested in appointing Feyenoord’s Arne Slot as their new manager this summer.

Slot has emerged as a strong candidate to succeed Jürgen Klopp in the recruitment process being led by Michael Edwards, the new chief executive officer of football for Fenway Sports Group, and incoming sporting director Richard Hughes.

Liverpool have been sounding out potential new managers through intermediaries rather than direct interviews but Slot is among the frontrunners for the position.



He led the Rotterdam club to the inaugural Europa Conference League final in his first season, when they finished third in Eredivisie, won the league title in his second season and lifted this season’s KNVB Cup on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over NEC Nijmegen.

Slot record and playing style has attracted widespread interest, including from Tottenham last season, and Liverpool could face competition from Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Milan for his services this summer, when he will have two years remaining on the contract he extended with Feyenoord last May.

Xabi Alonso had been the frontrunner for the Liverpool vacancy but committed himself to Bayer Leverkusen shortly before leading the club to the first Bundesliga title in their history.

Sporting’s Rúben Amorim and Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi are also under consideration by Liverpool.
