Dutch coach Arne Slot has confirmed he has “signed a contract” to replace Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager.
Klopp, who has been in charge at Liverpool for nearly nine years, will leave the club after Sunday’s final Premier League game of the season against Wolves.
Feyenoord boss Slot agreed to join Liverpool in April after tentative terms were reached.
However, there had been no official confirmation of his move to Merseyside until today.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, the 45-year-old said: “I can confirm that I will be a Liverpool coach next season.”
Slot added that official statements from both Liverpool and Feyenoord would be released shortly.
The manager also said he hoped to finish the season on a high at his current club.
He told reporters: “We want to remain the best performing team of the second half of the season and maintain our undefeated status.
“If we win, we will have 84 points and we will be the second best Feyenoord team in club history. This group has shown all year that they hate losing. I expect that on Sunday too.”
Slot featured on Liverpool’s list of candidates for the role and the two clubs reached an agreement in principle over a compensation package for his move last month.
It came after Klopp announced in January he was leaving Liverpool because he was “running out of energy”.
