Arne Slot is seen in Liverpool kit for the first time since replacing Jurgen Klopp - ahead of the new boss' official unveiling later today

Liverpool have teased the release of the first interview of new head coach Arne Slot. 

The Dutchman was officially announced as the Reds new boss in May, taking over from Jurgen Klopp, who departed at the end of last season following nine successful years at the club. 

Slot joins the Anfield club from Feyenoord on what is believed to be a three-year deal. Supporters have waited anxiously for a glimpse of the 45-year-old in club gear after he officially assumed his new position on July 1. 

And Liverpool have finally offered fans what they've been asking for in a tease of his first interview, which is set to be released on Wednesday afternoon. 

The short clip sees Slot sit for the interview before a voice behind the camera asks. 'are you ready?'. The Dutch coach then replies in the affirmative before the video ends. 

On Tuesday, Slot discovered the identity of his first opponent as the Premier League fixtures for the 2024-25 campaign were released. 

The Reds travel to newly-promoted Ipswich on the opening weekend ahead of home fixtures against fixtures against Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. In the midst of that run is the small matter of a trip to Old Trafford to face his compatriot Erik ten Hag and Manchester United. 

Slot's first Merseyside derby is set for early December. Liverpool meet Manchester City for the first time in November and there is a tough end to the season with clashes against Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal in three of their last five games.

Before their league  campaign gets underway, the manager will look to get his ideas and philoshy across during a crucial pre-season. 

His arrival on Merseyside has not been aided by the European Championship and Copa America, which runs until July 14. 

The Reds' pre-season tour takes them to the USA for the first time since 2019, where they will meet Arsenal, United and Real Betis on July 27.
