Arne Slot has been tipped to outshine one of Liverpool’s major rivals in his debut season at Anfield.

Slot takes over from the long-serving Jurgen Klopp, who stepped down at the end of last season.

The 45-year-old arrives at Anfield with an impressive pedigree, having secured both the league title and the Dutch Cup during his tenure at Feyenoord.

Slot will commence his work with the squad during the pre-season starting in July.

This includes a three-game trip to the USA as part of their preparations for the 2024-25 season.

Slot’s Premier League debut in charge of Liverpool will be on August 17 away at newly-promoted Ipswich Town.

What did Marcel van der Kraan say about Arne Slot?

Dutch football expert Marcel van der Kraan describes Arne Slot as the ‘most entertaining’ coach he’s ever seen in the last 35 years.

He has backed Slot to outperform his compatriot Erik ten Hag at Manchester United over the next 12 months.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Van der Kraan said: “He’s also got very fresh ideas and maybe even excels [Erik] Ten Hag in his ideas of attacking football.

“He is closer in his thinking to Pep?

I’m not saying he’s on the same level, I don’t want Liverpool fans to think, ‘Oh Marcel’s telling us we’re getting Pep 2.0.’

“But I’ve never seen a game of him where he played one minute defensive football, or where he wanted his team to defend something, it’s actually been mind blowing what he’s done in Holland.

“I’m not saying that he will be in England but in Holland, he’s the most entertaining coach I’ve seen over the last 35 years.

“I actually think that, apart from Pep of course in the same city, Arne Slot could be Erik ten Hag’s biggest rival when it comes to competing for places in the Champions League next season.”

Asked if Slot will be more successful at Liverpool than Ten Hag next season, he said: “Yes.

“His football… like [co-host Simon Jordan], I’m a fan of the 70’s, I loved Holland in the 70’s, 1974, 1988, Ruud Gullit, Arnold Muhren, you mentioned earlier in the break, the cross to [Marco] van Basten, we had great players.

“But they all wanted to play really Dutch, flowing football and this is what you want from coaches, that’s how you want them to play.

“And if Arne Slot will do what he’s done so far in his career in the Netherlands, how he turned Feyenoord around from like a hard-working port workers’ club into a flowing football machine…

“What I wish, without being biased on Arne or Erik, I wish that Liverpool fans will get that because it will show a bit of colour for the Dutch again, what our coaches can do.”
