The decision was finalized after Liverpool agreed a compensation deal worth up to £9.4 million with Feyenoord, where Slote is currently in charge.

Slott expressed mixed feelings about his impending departure from Feyenoord while speaking at a press conference on Friday. "I can confirm that I will be a trainer there next year," Slott said.

He admitted the growing emotion as his final match approached, “Till now I wasn't thinking of it as preparation for my last match, but now it's starting to come. At the beginning of the week you're thinking about training and things like that. But now this feeling has become stronger. That's why I'm a little late [to the press conference] now because I wanted to say goodbye to some people in person and make time for them more than just shaking hands.

“So yes, the feeling goes up. I understand that good results help, but it's great to feel that people really think it's a pity I'm leaving.

However, Liverpool have not commented on the announcement.

Feyenoord confirmed the 45-year-old's departure via social media 'X': "The Arne Slot era is coming to an end. Let's enjoy the last moments."

Slot's final game in charge will be an Eredivisie home match against Excelsior on Sunday, marking the end of his successful three-year tenure. Klopp's final match with Liverpool will coincide with Slott's departure as the Reds take on Wolves at Anfield.
