Arne Slot’s Tenure at Liverpool
Appointed on June 1, 2024, Slot succeeded Jürgen Klopp after a successful spell with Feyenoord, where he won the Eredivisie in 2022/23 and the KNVB Cup in 2023/24. Slot’s tactical acumen has been instrumental in Liverpool’s strong performances this season, leading them to the League Cup final.
