Arne Slot: "I want to be Liverpool's next manager"

Feyenoord coach Arne Slot, 45, confirmed on Thursday the reports linking him with a move to Liverpool, stating that he has informed the Dutch club of his desire to leave.

"I want to be Liverpool's next manager; my decision is clear. Feyenoord and Liverpool are in talks, and I'm waiting to see what comes of it. I'm confident and waiting for the clubs to reach an understanding," Slot told ESPN.

Several names have been linked with the Liverpool job in recent days, including Sporting coach Ruben Amorim, 39, who has been tipped as one of the favorites, along with the Dutch coach.

Slot's decision appears to be final, as he made these statements just before Feyenoord's game at Go Ahead Eagles and after PSV had virtually secured the championship title.
