Liverpool have been looking for a new manager since Jurgen Klopp announced his departure at the end of the season.

Initially, we had linkages between the Reds and Xabi Alonso. Ruben Amorim emerged as the frontrunner after expressing his intention to remain with Bayer Leverkusen.

However, Tuesday saw a significant development in the Liverpool manager search, with a fresh name emerging as the new leader for the Anfield job.

According to the Evening Standard, Arne Slot of Feyenoord is the top candidate to succeed Klopp at Anfield.

Meanwhile, the Liverpool Echo reports that Slot meets all of the criteria laid forth in the process of hiring a new manager.

Fabrizio Romano has just offered a report on the current condition of play between Liverpool and Slot. And it’s fantastic news for those who want him in the Liverpool dugout.

What did Fabrizio Romano say about Liverpool and Arne Slot?”Liverpool had direct contact with Arne Slot as a candidate for the job,” the transfer insider stated on X.

“I had one direct contact with the Feyenoord manager, and I think another is already set. Slot on #LFC shortlist.”

It appears like things are moving swiftly on this front, which is excellent news.

As a great club, Liverpool will be looking for a top manager, and many of them still have a lot to play for this season.

However, Feyenoord’s chances of edging over PSV for the Eredivisie title are slim right now.

With only four games remaining, Eindhoven currently leads the table by nine points. They might complete the title this week.

With that in mind, it makes natural that Slot is already in talks with Liverpool, according to Romano’s story.
