Liverpool have reached an agreement in principle with Feyenoord to have Arne Slot replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield this summer. As Klopp’s successor, Slot will have several immediate priorities to address upon arrival at the club.
These include dealing with the futures of key players Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, all of whom are out of contract next summer. The new head coach will also face the challenge of maintaining the club’s competitive standing.
Liverpool’s potential third-place finish and Carabao Cup win have provided a strong foundation for him to build upon. However, Slot must be prepared to face formidable opponents in Arsenal and Manchester City in the upcoming season, where he will need to hit the ground running to lead Liverpool into another title race.
One area that requires significant improvement is Liverpool’s finishing in the final third. The team has underperformed in converting big chances, and addressing this issue will be a priority for Slot.
Additionally, he may look to reinforce the midfield, potentially targeting an additional defensive midfielder to provide more stability to the team. Furthermore, an important but intangible task for Slot will be to engender a strong connection with the Liverpool fanbase, similar to what Klopp achieved.
Convincing the supporters that his vision for the club is the right path forward will be crucial for Slot and his players as they navigate the inevitable challenges ahead.
