Dutch football manager Slot has expressed his interest in coaching in England after spending his entire career in Holland. Known for his attack-minded philosophy, he is often compared to managers like Klopp and Guardiola. There is a possibility of Teun Koopmeiners joining him at Anfield.
The Jong AZ academy product has made a name for himself at ‘La Dea’, playing 118 times and scoring 27 goals, making him a fan favorite. Koopmeiners has previously been linked with Liverpool. During the Europa League quarter-final exit, Liverpool experienced Koopmeiners’ ability firsthand, as he excelled in his role for Atalanta.
He has voiced his intent to leave the club in the summer, showcasing his adaptability by performing in both attacking and defensive positions. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Liverpool’s interest in Koopmeiners, with a potential move dependent on the new manager’s decision. Koopmeiners’ contract with Atalanta expires in June 2027, providing the opportunity for the club to command a substantial fee if he’s sold.
Juventus is also reportedly interested in his services. With international experience and a good track record, Koopmeiners’ profile has risen, having made his debut for the Dutch senior squad in 2020 and featuring in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
