The Eredivisie side, Feyenoord, is set to undergo a change in management, with Dick Slot due to replace Jurgen Klopp over the summer. Slot had expressed his eagerness for Feyenoord to reach an agreement with Liverpool, and the Reds’ interest in him became evident after Feyenoord’s victory in the Dutch Cup final. Feyenoord initially rejected a £7.7m offer from Liverpool but eventually accepted a £9.4m proposal. Slot is expected to see out the remainder of the Eredivisie season before taking over from Klopp, amid a busy period for the club.
Despite winning the Eredivisie last season, Feyenoord is unlikely to retain their title this term, currently trailing behind PSV by nine points with three matches left to play. Jurgen Klopp has endorsed Slot’s appointment, expressing his admiration for Slot’s eagerness and the style of football that his team plays. He also mentioned that he has received positive feedback about Slot as a person and a coach. While Klopp does not directly judge such decisions, he indicated his approval of Slot’s potential appointment.
