Liverpool has teased the publication of the first interview with new head coach Arne Slot.
The Dutchman was officially confirmed as the Reds’ new manager in May, succeeding Jurgen Klopp, who left at the end of last season after nine successful years with the club.
Slot joins Liverpool from Feyenoord on what is believed to be a three-year contract. Fans have been waiting for a glimpse of the 45-year-old in club apparel since he officially began his new post on July 1.
And Liverpool has finally given fans what they’ve been begging for: a preview of his first interview, which will be released on Wednesday afternoon.
The brief film shows Slot sitting for the interview before a voice behind the camera inquires. ‘Are you ready? The Dutch coach then responds in the positive before the video concludes.
Arne Slot, the next Liverpool manager, has been spotted in Liverpool kit for the first time.
The Dutchman replaces the club’s famed previous manager, Jurgen Klopp, who left at the end of last season.
Slot learned the identity of his first opponent on Tuesday, when the Premier League fixture list for 2024-25 was announced.
On the opening weekend, the Reds will travel to newly promoted Ipswich Town before facing Brentford, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth at home. During that run, he will meet his compatriot Erik ten Hag and Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Slot’s first Merseyside Derby is scheduled for early December. Liverpool faces Manchester City for the first time in November, and the season concludes with matches against Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal in three of their final five games.
Before the league season begins, the manager will seek to get his ideas and philosophy across during a critical pre-season.
His move to Merseyside has not been facilitated by the European Championship and Copa America, which run until July 14.
The Reds’ preseason trip takes them to the United States for the first time since 2019, where they will face Arsenal, United, and Real Betis on July 27.
