Gary Neville believes Arne Slot, of whoever takes over at Liverpool, has a better chance of success at Anfield post-Jurgen Klopp despite Manchester United and Arsenal’s struggles after the departures of their legacy managers.
Reports on Wednesday confirmed Liverpool are in talks with Feyenoord boss Slot over replacing Klopp at the end of the season, and the Dutchman will have quite the job on his hands following one of the club’s all-time greats.
Klopp’s farewell tour looks set to end in disappointment after his side limped to a 2-0 defeat to Everton on Wednesday, to all-but end their hopes of winning the Premier League this season.
But there’s little doubt the German’s departure will leave a gaping hole at the football club, and there will be huge concerns among the fanbase over the next appointment given the struggles at Manchester United post-Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsenal post-Arsene Wenger.
