Jurgen Klopp has told Arne Slot that he will be taking over the “best job in the world” if the Dutchman is appointed as the next Liverpool manager.
The Feyenoord coach has emerged as the favorite to succeed Klopp after confirming that negotiations have started between the clubs. Slot said he wanted to take up one of the most daunting tasks in soccer by succeeding the Anfield great.
“Best job in the world, best club in the world,” Klopp said Friday, adding that his team’s recent losses may make it easier for a new manager to come in.
“Obviously now I even help by not finishing on a high, which it looks like, so there is space for improvement,” Klopp said. “Great job, great team, fantastic people. He would take a really, really interesting job.”
Klopp is standing down at the end of the season after more than eight years at Liverpool in which he has won a full set of trophies including the Premier League and Champions League.
