Dutch Duo Tip Liverpool To Sign 45-Year-Old As Klopp’s Successor

Former Netherlands internationals Marco van Basten and Wim Jonk have explained why Feyenoord manager Arne Slot will be a great successor to Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

I think he can go to any club, even at the very difficult clubs, because he is so intelligent.”

He added:
