Klopp Will Be Difficult To Replace At Liverpool – Arne Slot

Liverpool manager, Arne Slot has come out to shed light on his club’s transfer plans this summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he admits that he has really big shoes to fill after replacing Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, but he believes he is ready to continue the winning culture the German manager has started.

Slot added that the past has shown that there is a possibility to win some trophies at the club, and that will not change under him.

His words, “They are big shoes to fill, but you can look at it as inheriting a squad and a team which has a winning culture.

One of the reasons to come here – and there are always more reasons for this – but I do feel we have a real good squad, and as a manager you want to work at a club with good players with an opportunity to win something. The past has shown there is a possibility to win some trophies.

I like to work with players and like to develop them but I like to win as well, and at this club there is an opportunity to win. It always helps to get to know the city but I think, as a manager, it helps even more if you win most of your games. If we do that in the best possible way it will probably give me some time as well, and if I have time then I can get to know the city a bit better. But it all starts with improving the team and winning as many games as we can.

For me, it is not a change. In Europe, we work like this, and I’ve worked at Feyenoord and my former clubs in a similar way. There are not many clubs in the world where one person decides everything. It is a collaboration between many people. I don’t think there are many sporting directors who bring in players the manager or head coach doesn’t like, and it is the other way around.

Not in specific numbers. There is already a real good team, there were a few new signings last season.

So the longer a team plays together if there is a good head coach normally you will see things will improve. It is fortunate I am going to a club where normally not many transfers go out. At Feyenoord, it was almost normal (that) eight, nine, 10 players left the club after every season so it is more difficult for a manager to get this progress. But here I am expecting him (Hughes) to keep most of our players and I think he wants that himself and from there we can only build.”

WOW.
