A message from Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool fans regarding the selection of Arne Slott to succeed Jurgen Klopp

Negotiations are continuing between the English club and its Dutch counterpart

Liverpool has finally settled, as it seems, on the successor to Jurgen Klopp, who announced his departure at the end of the current season, and has chosen the Dutchman Arne Sloat, the coach of the Dutch Feyenoord.

Negotiations, according to many sources, are continuing between the two clubs to terminate Slot’s contract with Feyenoord and begin his English adventure next season, and Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk was asked about this choice and he praised him greatly.

Van Dijk made it clear during his statements following the loss to Everton yesterday evening that Slot’s playing style and philosophy suit his English team very much.

He added to Viaplay, “The answer to this question is certainly difficult, but I think that Slot is one of the best Dutch coaches currently. I think his playing style and philosophy suit Liverpool.”

He concluded, “However, from what I read and hear, things are still far from over. Let’s see what happens.”

It is noteworthy that Slot has been in charge of Feyenoord since 2021, and he won the Dutch League with the team last season and the Dutch Cup this season.
