Feyenoord are in the process of searching for a replacement for Arne Slot, who is set to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool next season. They view former Liverpool midfielder Nuri Sahin as a potential candidate but may have to wait until after the Champions League final to finalize a deal. Sahin, the current assistant coach at Borussia Dortmund, has also attracted interest from Turkish giants Besiktas. Slot has confirmed his move to Liverpool and could take some of his backroom staff with him. While Feyenoord initially targeted FC Twente boss Joseph Oosting, they are now looking at alternative candidates.
Slot announced his move to Liverpool in an emotional statement, expressing his gratitude to Feyenoord as he prepares for his new venture in the Premier League. While there has been no formal announcement from Liverpool, the club sources have confirmed that a compensation package for Slot has been agreed with Feyenoord. The Dutchman is set to manage his last game for Feyenoord before heading to Anfield. He also mentioned that he will miss the connection with the people at Feyenoord but is looking forward to the new challenge.
Sahin, who recently held talks with Feyenoord officials, has nearly two years of managerial experience with Super Lig outfit Antalyaspor. Besiktas have also expressed interest in him after sacking their former coach. Sahin is currently focused on Dortmund’s preparations for the Champions League final but could potentially leave for Feyenoord or Besiktas afterwards. Both clubs are engaged in a battle for his services, adding more intrigue to the situation.
The search for Slot’s replacement has intensified, with Feyenoord considering various options. Oosting, who was initially a frontrunner for the job, has extended his contract with FC Twente, prompting Feyenoord to look at other candidates. The club is determined to find a suitable successor for Slot before the start of the new season. Sahin’s potential appointment would bring a former player back to the club in a coaching role, adding another layer of nostalgia and excitement for Feyenoord fans.
Liverpool are yet to officially confirm Slot’s appointment, but the deal appears to be all but finalized. The Dutchman’s move to Anfield will mark a new chapter in his coaching career, as he takes over from the highly successful Klopp. Feyenoord are focused on securing a replacement quickly to ensure a smooth transition and continued success for the club. The imminent departure of Slot has opened up opportunities for other coaches, including Sahin, to make their mark at the Dutch club. The search for his successor continues as Feyenoord prepares for the next phase in their managerial journey.
