It is the world's worst-kept secret that Feyenoord head coach Arne Slot is set to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool at the end of the season. Only an official announcement is missing.
The 45-year-old says that he plans to have a phone call with the German before taking charge at Anfield.
“I think it’s normal that if you go to a new club, and if that would be Liverpool, then it’s normal that you contact the former coach,” the Dutchman is quoted as saying by journalist Neil Jones.
“I did this when I went to Feyenoord as well; when I became head coach of AZ Alkmaar it wasn’t necessary, because the former head coach, I worked with him for two years.
“So it’s not more than normal that all the knowledge a person has who worked a few years at that club, and in this situation even for nine years, that you contact him. But apart from that, I know his assistant Pepijn Lijnders quite well.
“But if there’s an official confirmation – the way I look at it now when the season is done – it would be strange if I wouldn’t call him.”
