Liverpool manager Arne Slot expects Diogo Jota to feature in their Champions League clash with Serie A side Bologna at Anfield, despite the Portuguese forward's absence from training on Tuesday.

Jota received a knock in the 2-1 Premier League win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday but is set to play instead of Federico Chiesa, who arrived at training on Tuesday with an injury.

The Italian winger joined Liverpool from Juventus in August and grabbed an assist in the 5-1 League Cup third-round rout of West Ham United but will miss out on facing familiar opponents on Wednesday.

"It's a shame for him because he was looking forward to a Champions League night at Anfield, and especially because we face an Italian team," Slot told reporters. "How long is he out? It's always difficult because it happened yesterday but I am not expecting him to be out for a very long period of time.

"We will see if he can be in the team for Saturday (league match at Crystal Palace)."

Liverpool are off to a strong start in Slot's first season in charge. They top the Premier League standings on 15 points, opened their Champions League campaign with a 3-1 win over AC Milan, and have booked their spot in the League Cup last 16.

"One of the reasons we can compete is we have a lot of quality. We have a lot of cohesion in the team. Those who are not playing are happy with us scoring and winning so those are two really positive things," Slot added.

Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister had kind words for how well the Dutchman has done in filling the huge shoes left by former manager Juergen Klopp.

"He's definitely an amazing manager. You can see how he's been from the first day," the Argentine said. "We understand what he wants from us, and I think that's the main thing as a coach -- to get the ideas in the players."

Liverpool are back in the Champions League after a one-year absence and Slot hopes to see the hunger reflected in his team on Wednesday.

"What I want from the players is them to show they missed this. I want to see this, I want to feel this," Slot said. "I am hoping it's the same from our fans. I hope they feel this desire to show Europe that you missed us."

Liverpool’s Arne Slot expects Diogo Jota to be fit for Champions League clash at home

Alisson Becker is ready to return from injury for Liverpool's trip to Premier League strugglers Wolves, manager Arne Slot said on Friday.

The first-choice goalkeeper has missed the past two games, with Caoimhin Kelleher deputising, but Slot said the Brazilian was in line to play on Saturday.

"He trained yesterday a part of our session with the group, so we're expecting him to do the whole session today," Slot said at his pre-match press conference.

"So we think he is available but of course we have to train today.

"And of course we're really happy with Alisson being back but I want to emphasise the fact that Caoimhin did really well in the two games he was in goal for us, so another example of me having two, and I think even three, good options in certain positions."

Liverpool are second in the Premier League, just one point behind champions Manchester City, with four wins from their first five matches.

Slot, in the early days of his reign after replacing Jurgen Klopp, said it had been a "good start, but not a perfect one".

"I think it's been a positive start, with the small disappointment of losing at home against Nottingham Forest," he said.

"Every home game you lose is a disappointment, especially if it's not against a team that's competing for a top-four position, although you never know what Nottingham Forest are going to do this season."

The Dutchman added: "The style we play, the way we play, it's still very close to what you guys were used to for nine years, which is quite normal because we almost have all the same players Jurgen had.

"Keeping the results going is a good thing. Again, I have to mention that the fixture list has been good to us."

Premier League: Alisson ready to return for Liverpool, says coach Arne Slot

New Liverpool manager Arne Slot suffered his first setback as his side surprisingly lost 1-0 at home to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday but Manchester City maintained their perfect start to the season.

Forest had not tasted victory at Anfield since 1969 but Callum Hudson-Odoi's 72nd minute curler beyond Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson secured the three points as Nuno Espirito Santo's side moved into the Premier League's top five.

Erling Haaland, whose place in Manchester City's side was in doubt after being granted compassionate leave this week, continued his incredible start to the season with two goals as City recovered from conceding after 22 seconds to win 2-1.

Reigning champions City are top with a maximum 12 points from four games, with Liverpool on nine along with third-placed Aston Villa who hit back from 2-0 down to beat Everton 3-2 thanks to a stunning Jhon Duran winner.

Brighton &amp; Hove Albion, who drew 0-0 at home to promoted Ipswich Town, are on eight points along with Forest.

Manchester United's new signing Matthijs de Ligt grabbed his first goal of the season and Marcus Rashford scored for the first time since March as Erik Ten Hag's side cruised to a 3-0 victory at Southampton who are yet to earn a point.

Liverpool's transition from the Juergen Klopp era had appeared seamless as they began the season with three league victories, but they stumbled badly against Forest.

"The result frustrates the most, and we cannot be happy about how the game went. It was a stop-start game and we hardly created any chances," lamented Dutchman Slot. "We only have to look at ourselves - we have to be better. Far too many times we lost the ball around the area, it was not good enough. We have to be better with the ball."

For Forest, their start offers optimism that they can finally begin to look upwards in the table after two seasons fighting against relegation.

They produced a tactically astute display to frustrate Liverpool and then sent their visiting fans wild as Anthony Elanga found his fellow substitute Hudson-Odoi with a brilliant cross-field pass, and the 23-year-old winger cut inside before bending a tremendous effort past Alisson.

"We are working hard, and it is about building and believing in this idea that you can develop," Espirito Santo said.

<h2>Goal Machine</h2>

Man City, whose 115 charges of breaking Premier League financial rules will start to be heard by an independent tribunal next week -- charges the club denies - were stunned as Brentford opened the scoring in the first minute at The Etihad.

Yoane Wissa gave the London side the lead but Norwegian goal machine Haaland struck twice before halftime.

He restored parity in the 20th minute when he scored from a tight angle with his second touch of the game and then muscle through from an Ederson clearance to chip what turned out to be the winning goal.

Haaland was denied a third that would have made him the first player since 1946 to score three successive hat-tricks in the English top flight. He has nine goals in four games -- more than any other English top-flight team has managed this season.

City's neighbours United had lost two of their opening three games to once again put the pressure on manager Ten Hag, but they were convincing winners against Southampton on the south coast as they moved to six points.

Things might have been different though had Saints' Cameron Archer not had a first-half penalty saved by Andre Onana when the score was still 0-0.

"Once Andre stopped the penalty, straight after, we scored a goal with Matthijs de Ligt, the game was all ours and we dominate the game from that point," Ten Hag said.

Leicester City were denied a first win of the season as Jean-Philippe Mateta's stoppage-time penalty salvaged a 2-2 draw for Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi had put the Foxes 2-0 ahead but Mateta threw the home side a lifeline and then coolly slotted home a penalty at the death.

West Ham United also needed a stoppage-time goal to grab a 1-1 draw at London rivals Fulham -- Danny Ings striking in the 95th minute after Raul Jimenez had given the hosts the lead.

Premier League: Arne Slot gets reality check with Nottingham Forest loss, Haaland doubles powers City to top

Arne Slot passed his first major examination as Liverpool manager with a statement 3-0 win at Manchester United thanks to Luis Diaz's double and a Mohamed Salah strike on Sunday.

Slot has the unenviable task of succeeding Jurgen Klopp but has made a perfect start with a 100 per cent record from three Premier League games to sit alongside Manchester City at the top of the table.

A second consecutive defeat leaves United boss Erik ten Hag already under pressure just three games into the new season.

The Dutchman survived an internal review at the end of last season after overseeing the club's worst ever Premier League finish of eighth.

A shock FA Cup final win over Manchester City saved Ten Hag's job and offered hope for a fresh start, particularly after being backed with a £200 million ($262 million) spend in the transfer market.

But all the hallmarks of United's failings last season were exposed by the impressive visitors.

Casemiro was the fall guy for the home side, as the Brazilian was at fault for both Diaz's goals and hooked off at half-time in favour of youngster Toby Collyer.

United paraded new £42 million signing Manuel Ugarte before kick-off and must now hope the Uruguayan can have a transformational impact to shore up the midfield.

Liverpool, by contrast, did not delve into the market for a defensive midfielder, and Slot's decision to move Ryan Gravenberch into that role has proved an inspired early decision.

Despite Liverpool's ascendency over United during Klopp's reign, the German managed to win only two of his 11 away games against United.

The Reds twice failed to make the most of their dominance at Old Trafford last season as United edged a thrilling FA Cup quarter-final 4-3 and then snatched a 2-2 draw in the league that realistically ended Liverpool's title chances.

This time Liverpool were ruthless and could easily have matched their record 5-0 victory away to United in 2021.

United had been handed an early reprieve when Trent Alexander-Arnold fired in Diaz's deflected cross but the ball had struck Salah, who was in an offside position, on its way through to the right-back.

Casemiro had looked more like his old self in the opening matches of the campaign after struggling badly last season.

But the five-time Champions League winner had another afternoon that suggested his time at this level are now over.

Casemiro's slack pass was pounced on by Gravenberch who fed Salah and his dinked cross was headed in by Diaz at the back post.

Liverpool needed an important save from Alisson Becker moments later to parry Noussair Mazraoui's low powerful effort.

However, Ten Hag's men collapsed once the second goal went in three minutes before half-time.

Casemiro was caught in possession by Diaz, who then raced into the box to sweep home Salah's cross.

Salah got his customary goal against United on 56 minutes to rub salt in the home side's wounds.

The Egyptian's stunning finish from Dominik Szoboszlai's pass was his 15th goal in 16 meetings against the Red Devils, including at least one in each of his last seven appearances at Old Trafford.

Salah should have had more as he blazed over from close range with his team-mates begging for a pass.

Another brilliant Alisson save from Joshua Zirkzee then prolonged Liverpool's record of not having conceded under Slot.

Arsenal have been tipped as the side most likely to dethrone City as champions after four consecutive titles for Pep Guardiola's men.

But Liverpool could have done little more in the early weeks of the campaign to dispel any doubts that they remain contenders even without Klopp at the helm.

Premier League: Luis Diaz brace ensures perfect start for Liverpool and Arne Slot as Manchester United unravel

Arne Slot got off to a winning Premier League start as Liverpool manager thanks to two quickfire goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah in a 2-0 win at newly-promoted Ipswich on Saturday.

Slot has the unenviable task of succeeding Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, but the Dutchman will have been heartened by a commanding second-half performance.

Ipswich were riding the crest of a wave after back-to-back promotions and a return to the Premier League for the first time in 22 years.

Celebrity fan and minority owner Ed Sheeran was in attendance at Portman Road, although the singer-songwriter had to leave at half-time to attend a gig in Serbia.

Sheeran saw the best of the Tractor Boys, who were far from overawed by their illustrious opponents early on.

Omari Hutchinson had a shot blocked inside two minutes before Jacob Greaves headed the best chance of the first half too close to Alisson Becker.

Slot is the only new face at Anfield as Liverpool are the only side in the Premier League yet to make a signing in the transfer window.

The need for some fresh faces was shown in a sloppy and slow first 45 minutes on the ball.

However, Slot's half-time team talk did the trick as the Reds were a different side after the break and could have ran out far more convincing winners.

Greaves needed to make a vital clearance to prevent Salah's effort curling in at the far corner.

But Liverpool also had a narrow escape as a potential penalty for a Virgil van Dijk push on Liam Delap was ruled out for a marginal offside in the build-up.

Luis Diaz missed a glorious chance to open the scoring when he scooped over from close range after wonderful play from Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai to tee up the Colombian.

Alexander-Arnold's teasing cross was then headed wide by Jota with the goal gaping.

Liverpool's pressure finally told on the hour mark as another defence-splitting pass from Alexander-Arnold opened up Ipswich and Salah unselfishly squared for Jota to make amends for his earlier miss.

Five minutes later it was 2-0 as Salah pounced to score for the ninth time on the opening weekend of the season for Liverpool after a one-two with Szoboszlai.

Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton made a string of saves in the closing stages, notably from Salah and Conor Bradley, to prevent a more embarrassing opening day defeat.

Kieran McKenna's men had been unbeaten at home in the league for nearly 12 months.

But Ipswich were given an early lesson in the gulf in quality between the Championship and Premier League.

Things will not get any easier for Ipswich next weekend when they travel to defending champions Manchester City.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have the chance to build up some early momentum under Slot.

Either side of a trip to Manchester United next month, they face Brentford, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Wolves and Crystal Palace in their next six Premier League games before the October international break.

Premier League: Liverpool manager Arne Slot off to winning start at Ipswich

Arne Slot has been officially announced as the new head coach of Liverpool Football Club. Slot will be replacing Jurgen Klopp who departs Anfield after nine successful years at the helm.&nbsp;

Slot has signed a three-year contract and will formally take up the position on June 1, 2024, subject to a work permit, the club confirmed. The 45-year-old will be joining the Merseyside Reds from Eredivisie&nbsp;club Feyenoord after a compensation deal worth $12 million was agreed between the clubs, according to reports.&nbsp;

During his time in the Dutch league, Slot led&nbsp;Feyenoord to the league title in 2023 and was named Eredivisie Manager of the Year on two occasions. Last month, he helped engineer a 1-0 victory in the KNVB Cup final against NEC Nijmegen.

Prior to the Feyenoord job, Slot showed his coaching credentials as the AZ Alkmaar head coach where he led them to second place in the table, trailing leaders Ajax only on goal difference when the Dutch season was cancelled due to COVID-19 in 2019-20.

Slot will become the first Dutch manager to coach Liverpool - the historic English club that has seen the likes of Bob Paisley, Bill Shankly, Sir Kenny Dalglish and Rafa Benitez in the past.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Slot will be filling massive boots as he takes over from Klopp who became part of the fabric of Liverpool - the city and the football club.

<h2>Klopp departs Anfield on high note</h2>

Klopp signed off as the Liverpool manager on a winning note on Sunday (May 19) after his side beat Wolverhampton Wanderers&nbsp;2-0 in his final Premier League match.

Throughout the match, Klopp was serenaded by the fans who sang his chant almost continuously throughout the 90 minutes. After the match, Klopp addressed the Liverpool fans and unofficially confirmed that Slot had been chosen as his successor.

Despite it being his farewell, Klopp welcomed Slot with open arms and even sang for the new manager during his emotional seven-minute speech.&nbsp;

"The new manager, I want you to sing his name,"&nbsp;Klopp said. "Arne Slot, na na na na na! When the next season starts, go full throttle into it with the new manager. When you start, you keep believing.&nbsp;Don't&nbsp;stop believing."

‘Matter of days’: Arne Slot sheds light on potential Liverpool move in summer

Liverpool's outgoing manager Jurgen Klopp said that the Liverpool 2.0 project will keep going after his departure at the end of the ongoing Premier League (PL) season. Liverpool are currently third on the Premier League points table and are vying for the title in a close race with table toppers Arsenal and second-placed Manchester City.

"Of course, it's not perfect as if it was we'd have five or six points more and would still be fighting for the league," Klopp told Sky Sports in an interview published on Sunday (May 5).

"But if you rewind to the start of the season, I called it Liverpool 2.0... Liverpool 2.0 doesn't stop after I leave. It's just the start of another project with a really good squad."

It is, however, hard for Liverpool to win this season unless Arsenal and Man City have 'a crisis' as suggested by Klopp after their 2-2 draw at West Ham last week.

He also reflected on his decision to quit as the club's manager after nine years and said that he felt he couldn't keep going at 100% for another season.

"I was sure that if I didn't make that decision now, next year it could have been tricky. The thought of picking yourself up for another preseason, make big decisions," Klopp said.

"For that, you really need to be full of energy -- 80% is not enough. That's the truth. It's too much. It's a 24/7 job. Yes, there are more important things in life, but if you really care then it's 24/7.

"I did it for a pretty long time and I knew I couldn't continue to do it at the standard necessary for a club like Liverpool," he added.

The German is expected to be replaced by Dutchman Arne Slot who currently manages Feyenoord in the Dutch professional football league.

Premier League: 'Stop after I leave...,' Jurgen Klopp on Liverpool's future after his upcoming departure

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

The Press Association said that a compensation package for the 45-year-old, who had two years left on his contract, has now been agreed.

The BBC claimed that the deal is worth up to £9.4 million (10.9 million euros).

Slot had said Thursday that he was "confident" of landing the Anfield job.

"I would like to go to Liverpool. Now I'm waiting to see whether the clubs reach an agreement. I'm very confident in that," he told reporters.

Slot moved to Feyenoord in 2021 after impressing in his first managerial role at AZ Alkmaar.

He led the Dutch giants to the inaugural Europa Conference League final at the end of his first season, in which they narrowly lost 1-0 to Jose Mourinho's Roma.

Slot then delivered just a second league title in 24 years to De Kuip last season before penning a new three-year deal.

Klopp will step down at the end of this season after a nine-year reign which brought the Champions League title in 2019 and Premier League trophy a year later.

"I like the way his team plays football. If he is the one, I like that he wants it," Klopp told reporters on Friday when asked to highlight Slot's qualities.

"I don't know him, but some people who know him say he's a good guy. I like that a lot. So good coach, good guy. Looking forward for the club, if he is the solution, if he is the man, I'm more than happy.

"It's the best job in the world, best club in the world. Great job, great team, fantastic people. A really interesting job."

Feyenoord are currently second in the Eredivisie table, with PSV Eindhoven nine points clear at the top.

Failing to win the Dutch title would be a disappointment for Slot, mirroring Klopp's frustration at Liverpool's own faltering title bid.

Liverpool are in third place in the Premier League, three points behind leaders Arsenal and two adrift of second-placed Manchester City.

City have a game in hand on both Arsenal and Liverpool, who look to have blown their chance after defeats against Crystal Palace and Everton.

As well as their poor recent league form, Liverpool have also endured quarter-final defeats in the FA Cup and Europa League.

Initially, Bayer Leverkusen boss and former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso had been the favourite to succeed Klopp.

However, Alonso has committed to staying at Leverkusen after leading them to a first-ever Bundesliga title.

Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim was also linked with the Liverpool vacancy but has reportedly held talks with West Ham about replacing David Moyes next season.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said Slot's attacking tactics could be the ideal match for the Premier League club.

"I think Arne Slot is perhaps one of the better Dutch coaches at this moment," said Van Dijk. "I think the way of playing and the philosophy he has, that he could be a Liverpool coach."

"I don't know him, but some people who know him say he's a good guy. I like that a lot. So good coach, good guy. Looking forward for the club, if he is the solution, if he is the man, I'm more than happy. "It's the best job in the world, best club in the world. Great job, great team, fantastic people. A really interesting job." Feyenoord are currently second in the Eredivisie table, with PSV Eindhoven nine points clear at the top. Failing to win the Dutch title would be a disappointment for Slot, mirroring Klopp's frustration at Liverpool's own faltering title bid. Liverpool are in third place in the Premier League, three points behind leaders Arsenal and two adrift of second-placed Manchester City. City have a game in hand on both Arsenal and Liverpool, who look to have blown their chance after defeats against Crystal Palace and Everton. As well as their poor recent league form, Liverpool have also endured quarter-final defeats in the FA Cup and Europa League. Initially, Bayer Leverkusen boss and former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso had been the favourite to succeed Klopp. However, Alonso has committed to staying at Leverkusen after leading them to a first-ever Bundesliga title. Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim was also linked with the Liverpool vacancy but has reportedly held talks with West Ham about replacing David Moyes next season. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said Slot's attacking tactics could be the ideal match for the Premier League club. "I think Arne Slot is perhaps one of the better Dutch coaches at this moment," said Van Dijk. "I think the way of playing and the philosophy he has, that he could be a Liverpool coach."

Feyenoord's Arne Slot confirmed to replace Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool's next manager

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has broken silence on the&nbsp;club’s&nbsp;pursuit of Arne Slot as new manager as he suggests it is the best job in the world. Klopp, now in the final season as Liverpool&nbsp;manager&nbsp;will look to end his stint on a high&nbsp;as&nbsp;with four matches to go in the season. The club is already pushing for the next manager&nbsp;with&nbsp;Slot as the top candidate to replace Klopp at the helm of the Merseyside club. Speaking ahead of his&nbsp;side’s&nbsp;Premier League clash against West Ham, Klopp acknowledged the prospect of the job the new manager will have.

"I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;know anything about it.&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;not involved in the process. What I like is that, if&nbsp;he&nbsp;is the one,&nbsp;he&nbsp;wants the job. He is excited. I like the way his team plays football.&nbsp;All&nbsp;the things&nbsp;I hear about him&nbsp;are&nbsp;that&nbsp;he's&nbsp;a good guy.

'It's the best job in the world': Departing Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot

Dutch club Feyenoord coach Arne Slot has confirmed that his club is in talks with Liverpool for his potential transfer. This comes after Liverpool identified Slot to replaced Jurgen Klopp who'll be leaving the club after the ongoing season. Klopp was at the helm at Liverpool for almost nine years.

Slot spoke about the negotiations ahead of Feyenoord's game on Thursday (Apr 25) and said: "The only thing I can say about it is that the clubs are in negotiations. And then you sit in the waiting room and wait for what will come out."

"It seems clear to me that I would like to go to Liverpool. Now I'm waiting to see whether the clubs reach an agreement. I'm very confident in that," he added.

ESPN has reported that Feyenoord expect to be paid about $110 million (£9 million) for the transfer but Slot said that he'd be happy if two teams can come to an amicable solution.

"The clubs have to do their job," he said. "And then I'm waiting and as the 'main character.' I have to respect that. It will undoubtedly become clear in the coming days."

After Feyenoord's 3-1 victory, he further confirmed that an offer from Liverpool had already been made and said: "I have the impression that a good offer has already been made and that Feyenoord can make, as it seems, the best-paid transfer for a coach in The Netherlands."

Notably, Slot signed with Feyenoord on a three-year deal after rejecting offers from Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League (EPL). Earlier, Liverpool's Virgil Van Dijk also threw his weight behind the Netherlands international becoming the next Liverpool manager.

"I think [with] the way he plays and the philosophy he has that he could be a Liverpool coach. Only in my opinion, what I also read and hear, of course, is that it is far from finalised," Van Dijk told Viaplay.

Premier League: 'Offer has already been made,' says Arne Slot on potential shift to Liverpool as manager

Jurgen&nbsp;Klopp’s&nbsp;final season as Liverpool manager is all set for a dramatic collapse after the club lost its latest Premier League match against arch-rivals Everton on Wednesday (April 24) at Goodison Park. The 2-0 defeat left&nbsp;Klopp’s&nbsp;title dreams in shatters in the final season&nbsp;while&nbsp;captain Virgil van Dijk was&nbsp;left&nbsp;fuming over the&nbsp;disappointing result. While the team is now hoping for Arsenal and Man City to drop points, Van Dijk has already hinted at the next season&nbsp;insisting&nbsp;that Feyenoord manager Arne Slot could be the best fit for the side.&nbsp;

<h2>Van Djik heaps praise on Slot</h2>

"I&nbsp;find it difficult to answer it now, of course,"&nbsp;Van Dijk told Viaplay.&nbsp;"But I think Arne Slot might be one of the better Dutch coaches&nbsp;at this moment.

"I&nbsp;think the way he plays and&nbsp;the philosophy he has&nbsp;that he could be a Liverpool coach. Only in my opinion, what I also read and hear, of course, is that it is far from finalised.

"We will see. Next year&nbsp;we&nbsp;will focus on that."

A 2-0 defeat to Everton has seen Liverpool&nbsp;in danger of missing out on the Premier League title&nbsp;knowing&nbsp;that Arsenal and Manchester City now have a better chance of lifting the trophy. As things stand, Liverpool still have to face&nbsp;Aston Villa in the Premier League at Villa Park&nbsp;knowing&nbsp;that any more slip-ups will officially end their pursuit of a title.&nbsp;

'One of the better Dutch coaches': Virgil Van Dijk heaps praise on Jurgen Klopp's potential successor

Liverpool are all set to follow in the footsteps of their arch-rivals Manchester United as they look to appoint a new manager&nbsp;at the helm&nbsp;for the 2024-25 season. With current manager Jurgen Klopp set to leave at the end of the season, the 19-time English champions have set their sights on Arne Slot, current Feyenoord manager. It is reported that Liverpool have opened negotiations with&nbsp;Feyenoord and have made formal contact with the Dutchman for a move to England's top flight.

<h2>Arne Slot to Liverpool?</h2>

According to several reports in the Dutch and English media, Slot remains one of the tempting options Liverpool are keeping tabs on&nbsp;at the moment.&nbsp;This&nbsp;comes a week after the Reds&nbsp;were linked&nbsp;with Ruben Amiron, current Sporting Lisbon manager. Slot&nbsp;is considered&nbsp; as&nbsp;a good candidate&nbsp;having&nbsp;impressed while working at the Rotterdam-based club. Under his guidance, Feyenoord won the 202-23 Eredivisie title while also taking home the KNVB Cup in the 2023-24 season.&nbsp;

Slot was close to winning a European Trophy with Feyenoord,&nbsp;having finished&nbsp;runners-up to AS Roma in the Europa Conference League in the 2021-22 season.&nbsp;

As things stand, Liverpool will have big shoes to fill in the summer when they&nbsp;decide to&nbsp; announce their successor to Klopp. Current Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso was the prime target to replace Klopp, but he has now committed his future to the club, ruling out a return.&nbsp;

On the other hand, Hansi Flick is another tempting option on the cards but is not the first choice. Julian Nagelsmann is also no longer available after he penned a new deal with the Germany national side.&nbsp;

Rumours have also linked Jose Mourinho with the&nbsp;job&nbsp;as he was in attendance for Sunday’s match against Fulham.&nbsp;Mourinho&nbsp;comes with&nbsp;a big&nbsp;pedigree and could become the first manager to manage&nbsp;both&nbsp;Manchester United and Liverpool if&nbsp;he&nbsp;is&nbsp;offered&nbsp;the job.&nbsp; Interestingly, he&nbsp;has already&nbsp;managed&nbsp;the&nbsp;trio of&nbsp;Spurs, Chelsea and United from the ‘Big 6’ of English football.&nbsp;
