Liverpool are preparing for an emotional final game of the season on Sunday, as it will be Jurgen Klopp’s last match in charge of the Reds.
Liverpool will host Wolves at Anfield in a 4pm kick-off, after which Klopp’s iconic tenure in charge of the Reds will come to an end.
However, the Reds have already got a new manager in place for next season, with Arne Slot taking the reins after Klopp’s departure.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has just dropped a major update regarding Liverpool and Slot on X.
What has Fabrizio Romano said about Liverpool and Arne Slot?
The transfer insider wrote: “Arne Slot formally signs his contract as new Liverpool head coach today, all documents are in place.
“The official announcement will follow with #LFC desired timing. Work permit still pending for some of his staff members and then it will be all sealed.”
Liverpool announcement shouldn’t be too far away now
Obviously the next few days will all be about Klopp as Liverpool and the fanbase will look to celebrate his fruitful Anfield reign.
Therefore, the likelihood is that an announcement about Slot won’t come until next week at the earliest.
However, it looks as though the final formality regarding the Dutchman committing his future at Liverpool has been crossed off.
Obviously there are still a few steps, but surely it won’t be long now until the all-important official announcement comes from Liverpool
Slot has big shoes to fill, but he has certainly proven himself at Eredivisie level and seems to tick all the boxes for the Reds.
Slot has been superb for Feyenoord in recent years, leading them to the Eredivisie title last year and the Dutch Cup this term.
He also plays exciting football, which very much fits in with the Liverpool FC ethos.
