It looks like Liverpool have found their next first-team manager and it is safe to say he has already won many of the fans over after a clip of him re-emerged on social media this week.

Arne Slot is poised to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield this summer after a compensation package was agreed with his current employers Feyenoord.

Slot, 45, might not have been the biggest name linked with Liverpool job, but it looks like he will be a popular appointment if he can bring the same style of play that he has become famous for in Dutch football.

The real test will come when he arrives at the end of the season, but he has already got off to a good start after a clip of him mocking Manchester United flop Antony resurfaced earlier this week.

In the video clip, Slot is seen laughing in disbelief at Antony during his Ajax days, as the Brazilian forward rolled on the floor in the technical area to try and run down the clock.

The Brazilian was shown a second yellow card and subsequently sent off for his theatrics in the dying moments of Ajax's 3-2 victory over Feyenoord two years ago, the last managerial meeting between Erik ten Hag and Slot.

Although Slot was the one laughing on the touchline, it was Ten Hag who had the last laugh as his side held on to secure a vital three points.
