The 45-year-old Dutchman would go on to win the Eredivisie, steering the Rotterdam club to their first Dutch title since 2017 and only their second this century.
That decision may be beyond Slot, but nevertheless out wide is an area where Liverpool have flourished under Klopp – and should Salah go, it would be a position they may look to reinforce with any money they get.Defensively, Feyenoord were bettered only by league champions PSV for fewest goals conceded this season. Their 26 goals conceded in 34 games is an improvement on last term, when they shipped in 30 en route to winning the title.
For crosses, Liverpool are second and Feyenoord fifth in their respective leagues this season, once more making out wide a key focus – although when it comes to switching play the two sides contrast once again. Liverpool are second in this regard, with Feyenoord bottom among all Eredivisie clubs. “It does not surprise me one bit that Premier League clubs are interested in him – he carries himself very well,” they said. Slot’s influence has been pivotal in persuading some of Feyenoord’s recent signings to pick the club, even when bigger or better financial offers were elsewhere.Few other clubs demand their manager to be a leader like Liverpool. Klopp didn’t just manage the Reds well, he led from the front, articulating the club’s values perfectly. Slot has been backed to do the same.
