Liverpool have appointed Arne Slot to replace Jurgen Klopp next season. The German tactician will bid farewell to the Reds after nearly nine successful years.

Slot is considered among the most exciting coaches in European football. He has won one Eredivisie title and one KNVB Cup during his time in Dutch football. The Bergentheim-born manager has also won the Rinus Michels Award twice in his career.

However, he will be competing at the highest level for the first time with Liverpool and it will be a massive task for him to build on Jurgen Klopp's legacy. On that note, here's a list of three reasons why Arne Slot will succeed at Liverpool.


#3 Ability to improve players

Arne Slot is renowned for his ability to get the best out of his players. Tyrell Malacia, Santiago Giménez and Teun Koopmeiners are some of the players who went to the next level under his leadership.

There are several players in Liverpool's squad who are currently underachieving. Darwin Nunez, Dominik Szoboszlai, Luis Diaz and Ryan Gravenberch to name a few. They all could benefit from his arrival and become world-beaters under his leadership.


#2 Return of Michael Edwards and Co.

The first thing FSG did after Jurgen Klopp announced his decision to leave the club was to reappoint Michael Edwards as their Chief Executive of Football.

Edwards is one of the most influential figures in the European football. He played a key role in the Reds' success between 2016 and 2022.

The Englishman was responsible for bringing players like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker to Anfield. He will be joined by Richard Hughes, Julian Ward and Pedro Marques as sporting director, technical director and head of football development respectively.

They are likely to handle transfers and other non-football aspects at the club which will lower the burden on Slot


#1 Strong squad

Arne Slot will inherit a squad full of champions from Jurgen Klopp. Several of the catalysts from the Reds' success in recent years are still around the club.

Virgil van Dijk, Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah are a strong group of players for the Dutch manager to build a team around. A number of youngsters like Jarrell Quanshah and Conor Bradley also emerged as regular first-team players last season, which will give Arne Slot a lot of options to choose from.
