WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking with the media, Slot said <a href="https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/40163870/arne-slot-confirms-appointed-next-liverpool-coach" target="_blank">[via ESPN]</a>: "I can confirm that I will become the trainer there next year."Until now I was not thinking about this being the build up to my last match, but that starts coming now. At the beginning of the week you are thinking about training and those kind of things. But the feeling gets stronger now. That is why I'm a little bit late now [for the news conference], because I wanted to say goodbye to some people personally and take time for them, more then just shaking hands."So yeah, the feeling grows. I understand that good results help, but it is very nice to feel that people really are thinking it's a pity that I'm leaving. You can say that with words, but you can feel it if people truly think that way. That does mean a lot to me."

WHAT SLOT SAID

Slot has been compared with Klopp in terms of his playing style and bringing the Dutchman over to Anfield will <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/liverpool-bill-arne-slot-feyenoord/blt216400018be42b7a#cs743e44240ab0d988" target="_blank">cost Liverpool close to £13m ($16m) to be paid as compensation to Feyenoord</a> as per reports. The 45-year-old won the Eredivisie last season with the club and ended this season in second place behind title winners PSV.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Dutchman will lead Feyenoord at De Kuip on May 19 for the last time as they take on Excelsior before Slot says his goodbyes to the Feyenoord faithful.
