ARNE SLOT is allegedly set to move into Jurgen Klopp’s house after taking over his job.
Liverpool were rocked in January when the German announced that he would be leaving Anfield this summer.
The 56-year-old ensured that he will depart with some silverware when guiding the Reds to Carabao Cup success in February.
However, his hopes of leading them to the title are all-but over as well as their FA Cup and Europa League aspirations also being ended.
Feyenoord manager Slot, 45, is widely-believed to have already agreed to become Liverpool’s new boss for next season.
And fans are just waiting for the formalities to be completed and an official announcement to be made.

Now the Daily Mirror has claimed that Slot will move into Klopp’s seven-bedroom house.
They report that removal vans have been seen at Klopp’s home, which is worth around £4million and “in the exclusive village” of Formby in Merseyside.
The mansion boasts three lounges, a home cinema, an indoor swimming pool plus a landscaped garden and is owned by the Premier League club.
Liverpool bought it from their former manager Brendan Rodgers after he had previously purchased it from legendary ex captain Steven Gerrard.

Klopp is said to have become a popular figure in Formby and “is often spotted in local pubs and restaurants” in the area.
But now locals will be waiting to welcome Dutchman Slot to the area with him preparing to move in to the property.
Klopp is now believed to be planning to spend time in Majorca once he departs Anfield.
He bought a £3.4m house in Santa Ponsa two years ago and is set to enjoy some time off on the Spanish island.
However, he can expect a call from his successor.
Slot recently revealed that he planned to phone Klopp once he officially takes charge.
He said: “It’s normal if you go to a new club that you contact the coach.
“I did this at Feyenoord as well.

What they have said about Arne Slot
MATT WADE, head of sporting strategy at Feyenoord
“He is a brilliant communicator, and consultative, but also clear at the same time.
“He is quite cautious, quite introverted, but very rule based and principled, which means everyone knows where they stand.
“And he is not paranoid, which allows freedom for specialists to operate.”
SANDER WESTERVELD, former Liverpool goalkeeper and team-mate of Arne Slot
“When I played with Arne at Sparta, you could see that he would become a coach.
“He was a leader, a No10 midfielder and someone who would change tactics by himself.
“The job he has done at Feyenoord makes him the perfect fit for Liverpool.”
Dutch football journalist MARCEL VAN DER KRAAN
“I’ve followed Feyenoord for 40 years. Not since the days of Johan Cruyff at Ajax in the 1980s has there been a coach so attack-minded in the Dutch league.
“Cruyff only had a few disciples who followed him and one of them was Pep Guardiola.”
Arsenal star REISS NELSON who played 31 games under Slot on loan at Feyenoord
“I felt like Arne Slot is a great manager. He really got me into my rhythm.
“He gave me a lot of opportunities to play and I excelled.”
