It looks like it's only a matter of time before Arne Slot is officially confirmed as Liverpool's new manager, succeeding Jurgen Klopp. 

It was reported last week that the Premier League club had agreed a compensation fee with Feyenoord for the Dutch boss, and he will follow in the footsteps of the legendary German boss. 

However, Slot hasn't made the best first impression on one former Liverpool star. Talking exclusively to DAZN, thanks to NewBettingSites.uk, Stephen Warnock believes the incoming manager should have avoided discussing the money involved in his move to Anfield while he's still in charge of another club. 

"From what I've seen so far of him from his interviews, it feels like he's got that big personality," Warnock began. 

"The big thing is, is that you're following one of the biggest personalities in football, but you've got to still be your own person - and I think he is. If I'm being completely honest, I wasn't so sure about his interview talking about the money that Feyenoord are receiving for him and how great it is for Dutch football.

"I just thought it lacked a little bit of class. I just thought you don't need to say that you're still in a job at Feyenoord. You've still got games to play. Jurgen Klopp's still the manager at Liverpool.

"I think it was just one of them where you almost bat it away and say, listen, there might be things happening behind the scenes, but that's not for me to talk about. That's for the two clubs to sort out.

"However, if you're getting a Liverpool job and you've only been a manager for, I think it's seven and a half years I'd be very excited as well. And I think the opportunity to go into Liverpool and to fight against [Mikel] Arteta and [Pep] Guardiola towards the top of the league is a proposition that he's probably very, very excited about."
