ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — Feyenoord coach Arne Slot said Friday he will be Liverpool’s next manager, replacing Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool had already reportedly agreed to pay Feyenoord about 11 million euros ($11.7 million) in compensation for the 45-year-old Slot.

“I can confirm that I will be the coach at Liverpool next season,” Slot said in quotes carried on Feyenoord’s official website.

Feyenoord said an official announcement from the two clubs will follow “in the short term.”

Slot’s last game in charge of Feyenoord is on Sunday at home to Excelsior.

On the same day, Klopp bids farewell to Liverpool after nine years in charge in a home match against Wolverhampton.

Slot has coached Feyenoord since 2021, winning the league last year and the Dutch Cup this season.
