Klopp approves of Slot's beginning at Liverpool as his successor.

Jurgen Klopp recently shared his thoughts on Arne Slot's performance as the new coach of Liverpool. Klopp praised Slot, calling him a "very good coach" and expressing his confidence in the team's success under his leadership. Slot took over the role this summer after Klopp's departure following a successful nine-year term.

Last weekend, Slot secured his first Premier League win with a 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town, which caught Klopp's attention. "Arne, yeah. Really good coach," Klopp said in an interview with ESPN. "I was really happy when I heard that Liverpool was going for Arne Slot. A lot of things changed since we left. But the only concern for me was, will they get a good coach? Liverpool was early and Liverpool got a top, top, top solution in Arne Slot."

Klopp also mentioned that he has been keeping in touch with Slot during the early days of his tenure and is pleased to see that his successor has put his own spin on the team. "We spoke one or two times [at the start]. I think we texted a few more times. But there is nothing I can tell him what he couldn't know himself," Klopp shared. He also commended Slot for his hard work and the obvious progress he has made with the team.

Klopp has been impressed with Slot's style of play, which he saw during the pre-season friendly against Sevilla and the recent league game against Ipswich. "I like his football a lot [how he] played it with [Feyenoord]," Klopp said. "But it's not important that I like it, you can see he is a very good coach and the team, I know now better than most, is a really good squad, is a really good team. So it'll work out really well."

The Reds will aim for their second consecutive win this Sunday when they face Brentford at Anfield. Klopp is confident that Slot and the team will continue to thrive and achieve success in the future. "When I saw the games, that's why I watched it, not to think, oh, how does it look? The work he did was obvious, the ideas obvious. And that's the best you can say about the coach," he said.
