Arne Slot has been sacked by Liverpool, leaving his former assistant Etienne Reijnen without a job after the coach had already left Feyenoord to join the RedsEtienne Reijnen was on his way to Liverpool(Image: BSR Agency, Getty Images)Etienne Reijnen had uprooted his life in the Netherlands to relocate to Merseyside – yet he now finds himself unemployed following Arne Slot's dismissal from Liverpool. Having previously worked alongside Robin van Persie at Feyenoord, he departed his role at the Dutch club back in May with Liverpool in mind.Slot had initially sought to bring Reijnen to Anfield when he took charge in 2024, but the 39 year old was refused a work permit at the time.With Slot now gone, the move to Merseyside will not be happening, and a return to Feyenoord appears equally unlikely.
According to Dutch publication De Telegraaf, his former position at the club has already been filled, leaving him without employment.Meanwhile, Van Persie's own future at Feyenoord remains unclear. Devy Rigaux, the club's new technical director, recently acknowledged: "We will take the time to analyse everything that has taken place here over the past season.
In that regard, it is now up to us to get things clear and sharp before we make a decision."Slot, meanwhile, penned an open letter to supporters over the weekend, in which he said: "The connection we share goes beyond football, beyond European nights under the Anfield lights or the sound of You'll Never Walk Alone being sung from The Kop."You made me feel welcome from the start and helped me on the path. That is something I cherish."Arne Slot was axed last week(Image: (Darren Staples / AFP via Getty Images))Alongside his thanks to supporters, Slot also paid tribute to players, staff and the club's owners, stating: "It has been a pleasure working with you all."Liverpool's 20th league title belongs to all of us and it will remain an important chapter in its history.
