Liverpool's reason for settling on Slot as Klopp's successor – revealed

Journalist Neil Jones has reported Liverpool's reasoning behind going for Arne Slot as the successor to Jurgen Klopp.

Jones told Caught Offside: "Slot’s appeal is that he has achieved success at two different clubs, both of whom have punched above their weight with him as manager.

"He has not had huge sums to spend, or players on huge wages, and he has been able to stamp his authority on the team in terms of a clearly-defined style of play, as well as impressive communication skills.

"Those points all ensured he was eventually deemed ‘the one’, albeit in an imperfect field."
