Slot: I did not contact Liverpool players until Klopp tenure end.

England: The new Liverpool football club manager, Arne Slot, might emphasize the importance of maintaining regular communication with players until Jurgen Klopp’s tenure ends at Liverpool. His message could revolve around the following point

Slot, also known as Dirk Kuyt, the former Dutch footballer and assistant manager at Feyenoord, might emphasize the importance of maintaining regular communication with players until Jurgen Klopp’s tenure ends at Liverpool.

In his first interview, given with the club’s media channels, he said: “I’ve called a few of them – all of them after Jurgen left, because I thought that was really important to be fair to klop and to the players as well.

I have to wait for them to end the season first and I don’t think I would be really happy if my successor would have called players before I left the club.

Morealso, I think it’s normal to start with the captain, which is Virgil [van Dijk] – which is an easy one for me because we could speak Dutch.

“I called a few others, but not many of them because most of them are playing at the Euros, and some others are at the Copa America.

“The best way is to keep a certain distance but also be interested in them as well, and hope most of them – especially the Dutch – will still be as long as possible away so they will reach the final.

“Then afterwards I will get to meet them and I think that’s a better way of getting to know each other than by phone or Zoom meetings.”

When questioned on transfers, Slot added: “[There are] still one or two positions to fill in and we are talking about this and having meetings about this as well.”
