Overview
- Liverpool sacked Arne Slot in May with about 12 months left on his contract and placed him on gardening leave, creating a large severance liability for the club.
- Recent reports say Liverpool will continue monthly payments and supplement Slot’s first-year Netherlands salary so he receives roughly the package he was owed at Anfield, which reduces a one-off payout.
- The KNVB has identified Slot as its leading candidate to replace Ronald Koeman and the payment arrangement would remove a financial obstacle to his appointment.
- Slot is reported to have turned down offers to return to club management, including from Fulham, as he prioritises the national-team vacancy.
- All details so far come from De Telegraaf reporting carried by other outlets and neither the KNVB nor Slot’s representatives have issued formal confirmation; reported contract figures remain estimates.
