ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) 鈥� Feyenoord coach Arne Slot said Friday he will be Liverpool's next manager, replacing Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool had already reportedly agreed to pay Feyenoord about 11 million euros ($11.7 million) in compensation for the 45-year-old Slot.
鈥淚 can confirm that I will be the coach at Liverpool next season,鈥� Slot said in quotes carried on Feyenoord's official website.
Feyenoord said an official announcement from the two clubs will follow 鈥渋n the short term.鈥�
Slot's last game in charge of Feyenoord is on Sunday at home to Excelsior.
On the same day, Klopp bids farewell to Liverpool after nine years in charge in a home match against Wolverhampton.
Slot has coached Feyenoord since 2021, winning the league last year and the Dutch Cup this season.
