Inside Arne Slot's backroom team: Two coaches follow him from Feyenoord to Liverpool including Ronald Koeman's former Dutch assistant... and they are joined by the USA's goalkeeping coach who played for Blyth Spartans

Arne Slot spoke publicly for the first time as Liverpool manager on Wednesday following his appointment as Jurgen Klopp's successor at Anfield.

The Dutchman arrives at Anfield on a three-year deal from Feyenoord, where he won an Eredivisie league title and Dutch Cup, and officially started work as Liverpool head coach on June 1.

His interview with the club's in-house media offered the 45-year-old his first chance to allay the fears of supporters and put forward his own vision for the club. Slot lauded his predecessor, his view on the squad and spoke in glowing terms about his former side.
