Liverpool have made their minds up. Feyenoord's Arne Slot will replace Jurgen Klopp as manager next season.
The Dutchman has made a serious impression since his arrival to the world of management just five years ago, leading AZ Alkmaar to the brink of Eredivisie glory before getting his hands on the trophy with his current side last season.
A deal to hire Slot was agreed late on Friday evening and so, with his move almost finalised, here's how he could set up at Liverpool.
Questions should be asked of any potential manager who want Alisson as their starting goalkeeper.
The only debate in this spot will revolve around who operates as backup to the Brazilian, with Caoimhin Kelleher tipped to head off in search of first-team football this summer.
Slot's arrival would likely be enough to convince Trent Alexander-Arnold to sign a new contract as the Dutchman's tactical setup encourages his full-backs to be as active in attack as possible.
Furthermore, the specific 4-2-3-1 setup Slot utilises offers plenty of cover for his marauding full-backs, which could be perfect for someone of Alexander-Arnold's skill set.
Quick passing from defence into midfield is key to Slot's teams, so someone like Ibrahima Konate should have no issues fitting in.
The Frenchman's only real concern is his patchy injury history, which could cost him a spot in the team if Liverpool choose to act on their interest in signing a new centre-back this summer.
Virgil van Dijk has already made it clear he'd be keen to work under Slot, and you can bet the feeling is mutual.
At Feyenoord, Slot turned left-sided centre-back David Hancko from a relative unknown into a superstar. Just imagine what he could do with a player who already sits at the top of the mountain.
