Slot has answered a number of lingering questions about his plans, including confirming some of his backroom staff and outlining his general aims ahead of the new season
Slot has touched on his playing style intentions and what his plans are for pre-season.
Trent admitted his curiosity about working under a new manager, having only ever played under Klopp at club level.

“I’d probably say I’m sat on the fence with regards to my feelings on a new manager coming in.
“It’ll be a completely different situation and it’s going to be weird to then turn up to pre-season, having to adopt a new playing style.”
"Whereas now, without anything getting said to me, I know the way the manager wants me to play, and I turn up to pre-season, I know to jump there, I’m to press there,
“But for this summer, my next pre-season will have a completely different message.”
'It’s going to be strange, but I think I like the idea of a new challenge for the team, the players and the club."
Slot arrives amid a difficult summer where players will be returning to work at different times due to Euro 2024 and the Copa America being staged across overlapping periods.
Slot referenced this when giving an insight into his plans ahead of pre-season and the regular campaign, answering Trents queries about his playing style plans at the same time.
Slot
“In pre-season it's all about getting players fit and getting your game idea, your game model, into the players.”
"We have quite a lot of training time with a few of them; and it depends how far players will go into the tournaments they are playing, how much time we have to work with these players.
“But like you already mentioned, the playing style will not be completely different. But it would be strange if we would do exactly similar things, because although I'm the replacement of Jurgen Klopp, I'm not exactly similar to him.”
