Following the announcement that Arne Slot, a former head coach of Feyenoord, will replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold has acknowledged that he has complete “trust” in the board. After Klopp declared at the beginning of the season that he no longer had the energy necessary to stay at Anfield after nine years as the club’s manager, Liverpool took their time hiring new players.
Prior to pledging his future to the Bundesliga champions, Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim was considered as a possible replacement for Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso. In the end, Liverpool decided on Slot, and on the final day of the Premier League season, Klopp publicly endorsed the Dutchman during his goodbye speech at Anfield. Despite failing to keep Feyenoord as Eredivisie champions in his previous campaign, Slot comes to the northwest of England with the intention of guiding Liverpool into a new era of success.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has admitted he has full ‘trust’ in Liverpool ‘s board after they appointed former Feyenoord head coach Arne Slot as the club’s new manager
Alexander-Arnold, the vice captain of Liverpool, was among many distraught people when Klopp left the team, but since the England player showed up for the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying round, Alexander-Arnold has backed Slot to succeed.
When asked if Klopp’s departure would lead to a seamless transition, Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports:
“That’s all you can hope for, I hope so you know,” he continued.
“As a player, all you can ask for is to have faith in what the upper management has brought in, and I’m sure it will be a smooth transition. I have faith in the club and who we’ve appointed.”
In an effort to get used to living in England, Slot was recently seen visiting Liverpool for the first time before beginning his new job. He also had dinner at the well-known Moor Hall restaurant.
After Liverpool finished third in the Premier League, Alexander-Arnold is taking a brief vacation before heading back to England to play for the national team in the run-up to the European Championship.
The 25-year-old was questioned about England’s status as the tournament favorites to win the championship in Germany after being included as a midfield player in Gareth Southgate’s provisional roster.
The Liverpool player added, “I don’t know what people are making us, we go there tyring to do our best and hopefully come back successful,” but he remained evasive about expectations within the England camp.
