Liverpool Kill interests in their Main Target Transfer for another option

Liverpool Coach Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool have been in desperate search for a replacement for Jurgen Klopp. The German had announced his planned departure by the end of the season. So far many possible replacements have streamed past the Merseyside club.

They initially started with Xabi Alonso, a former player and a club legend. The Spaniard who is Coaching Bayer Leverkusen chose to remain in the German Club amidst his beloved club’s interests. His main reasons were basically to see Bayer Leverkusen through their successful phases.

Liverpool switched their interests to the Sporting CP coach, Ruben Amorim. They built a strong interest in him. This allowed them to hover around him for weeks. But lately, they’ve placed their interests in him on hold.

As it stands it seems the Merseyside club has found a much stronger option for them to pursue.

The Reds have decided to place some hold on their interest in Ruben Amorim. A lot of rumors have proceeded about why it was done. But no tangible reasons have been laid out by the club.

It was also reported by David Ornstein of the Athletic that West Ham had swooped in for Amorim. He laid out that a meeting had been held between Ruben Amorim‘s party and West Ham.

But after a few hours, Fabrizio Romano reported that West Ham had not reached any agreement with Amorim. Although Liverpool on the other have withheld talks and interest in the Portuguese.

So far the move of the Portuguese to Anfield seems very unlikely, despite their solid interest in him.

Who’s Next for the Reds

Liverpool’s management had enumerated a list of possible managers they are interested in. Yet now they’ve shifted their focus to only one on the list.

A new broadcast came in by Fabrizio Romano and was also affirmed by a Liverpool reporter, Paul Joyce. They claimed that the club held a meeting with Feyenoord Coach Arne Slot.

The Dutch had been on the Red’s list for some time, but little attention had been paid to him. Also, Tottenham Hotspur had been linked to him before they signed Ange Postecoglu.

Going forward it’s expected that Liverpool will still hold more talks with the Dutch as time progresses. Nonetheless, there’s no guarantee that Liverpool will end up with anyone yet. The coming weeks will determine the Club’s final decision on who Klopp’s replacement is.

Arne Slot’s Managerial Profile

The Dutchman started his managerial career as an Assistant Coach at Cambuur. After a few years, he became the head Coach of Cambuur.

In 2017 Slot moved from Cambuur to AZ, where he started first as an assistant. But after some time he became the head Coach for the 2019/20 season. There he pushed AZ to 2nd on the Eredivisie.

The following season he was sacked for some personal issues he had with the club. Interestingly he was given a job at Feyenoord the following season.

During his time at Feyenoord, he was able to win the Eredivisie in 2022/23, the KNVB Cup in the 2023/24 season, and a runner-up in the Europa Conference league.

Arne Slot’s Style of Football

The Dutchman is known for playing a double-pivot system of play, involving 4-2-3-1. This is valid when his team is in possession.

He makes use of high press when out of possession. This system allows him to implement his wingers and forwards to form a press triangle. With an outcome that forces his opponents to make errors or lose possession.

In defense, Slot uses 4-4-1-1. This system involves his wingers to fall back, support, and improve the team’s defensive duties.

Dutchman’s style of play has close similarities with Jurgen Klopp’s pattern at Liverpool. It’s expected that the Dutchman would fit in well with the system Klopp is about to leave behind.

More hurdles ahead for the Club

Liverpool is still very much in the title race. After winning their last game they are second on the table. They are also on the same points as league leaders Arsenal. Although Man City who is third has a game in hand.

Liverpool will face Everton in a Merseyside derby on Wednesday. They’ll try and push for a win in all their games. At the same time hope City and Arsenal slip up in their remaining games.
