Slot, 45, guided his side to the Eredivisie title last season, and will likely finish second this campaign. He also led Feyenoord to the Cup title and runner-up appearance in the UEFA Europa Conference League in 2021-22. Many pundits believe that his playing style will suit Liverpool quite well.
With the Reds hiring Arne Slot, and Xavi reversing course to stay put at Barcelona, it now leaves Bayern Munich as the only massive club with a managerial opening this offseason.
