New Liverpool manager Arne Slot has got Liverpool fans talking after footage of him relaxing with his family in Ibiza surfaced online.
In a cool and confident pose, the former Feyenoord manager shared glitzy footage of his family having a nice time in Ibiza, Spain. He was dressed in shorts with a white short-sleeved polo. The 45-year-old was looking almost unrecognizable with his dark sunglasses.
His wife Mirjam also donned sunglasses as well as their daughter Isa, who was sandwiched between the pair as they all sat and smiled for a pose.
Slot’s son, Joep, was absent from the glaring media stunt. Whether it was intended or not, Slot got the attention he deserved, feeding Liverpool fans with the flamboyant footage.
“The scousest non Scouse family you’re likely to ever see,’ wrote one supporter on X. Another fan simply said: ‘Scouser.’
‘The Scousest looking family ever,’ joked another. A fourth fan wrote: ‘Most Scouse looking Dutch fella I’ve ever seen.’
‘Can a family that blatantly isn’t Scouse look so Scouse?’ Asked another supporter reacting to the image.
A scouser is a word for a native or inhabitant of Liverpool. Slot seemed to have won the hearts of the Reds’ fans just a few weeks after sealing his move to the Merseyside outfit.
According to reports, his wife Mirjam and their two children, Joep and Isa, have joined the 45-year-old in Merseyside as he sets out for the new challenge with Liverpool.
Meanwhile, like other managers, Slot rarely shares his private moments on social media. The last time he did that was in May 2022 when Feyenoord defeated Marseille in the UEFA Conference League semi-final to book a place in the final of the tournament.
In a footage that made the rounds, Slot was seen melting into a deep snog with his wife Mirjam after the match.
With former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp off the scenes to Mallorca, Liverpool fans will be getting used to the face of Slot and his family. And they seem to have gotten over the Klopp era quickly to embrace a new dawn with Slot. Hence, the rave response from the Dutch’s maiden family footage from Ibiza earned.
Notably, Arne Slot’s luxurious vacation to Ibiza came before his scheduled unveiling by Liverpool in July 2024.
Recall the Reds only announced the signing of the Dutchman as the new manager in a club statement on May 20, 2024, confirming he will resume duties on June 1, 2024.
Awaiting his unveiling, the Eredivisie winner went to the famous Ibiza luxury spot to soak up sun as he prepares for a running in the Liverpool dugout.
His first game in charge of Liverpool will be a three-game marathon of friendlies in the US before the 2024-25 season.
