There was no ideal candidate out there to replace Jurgen Klopp because they are such huge shoes to fill. Not just in terms of team-building, but the relationship he had with the fans and the city.
Even Xabi Alonso didn’t tick all the boxes because he’s only been a manager for a couple of years.
I’m sure Liverpool have done their due diligence on Arne Slot and it’s positive for the fans that he plays the game on the front foot just like Klopp.
We’re told he has a confident and humorous personality as well which is positive.
