Jurgen Klopp has given his blessing for Arne Slot to take over as the next Liverpool manager.
The Feyenoord boss has emerged as the frontrunner to become Klopp's successor at Anfield.
Xabi Alonso was originally seen as the first-choice option before he announced his plans to stay at Bayer Leverkusen.
Ruben Amorim was then considered the next target, but Liverpool have since moved on to Slot with negotiations moving quickly.

"I'm not involved in the process, but I like a lot about it, if he is the one and wants to take the job," he said.
"I like the way his team plays football.
"All the things I hear about him as a guy - a good guy. Some people I know, know him.
