Arne Slot has said he would not have taken the Liverpool job had he been one of several candidates to replace Jürgen Klopp and that he can envisage managing at Anfield as long as his renowned predecessor.
Klopp will return to Anfield on Sunday for the first time since stepping down, to see Liverpool lift the Premier League trophy. Slot said it would be a proud moment to raise the trophy in front of his predecessor, who built this title-winning squad, and that he would not have left Feyenoord but for Richard Hughes, Liverpool’s sporting director, making clear he was “the only one” the club wanted.
