Arne Slot explains why family has not joined him at Liverpool with 'wrong choice' admission




Arne Slot has explained that his family is yet to join him in Liverpool because his children are currently going through important periods in their academic development.


Slot accepted his first job outside of the Netherlands earlier this year when he agreed to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, but moved to Merseyside without his wife, Mirjam; son, Joel; and daughter, Isa.


Slot hinted that a decision on whether his family joins him in Liverpool will likely be taken in 2025.

"I think it depends on how it will work out this year,"


"Both of them are doing their exams. So, it was impossible for them to come. I wouldn't say impossible, but that wouldn't be the right choice to bring them over.


“And let's see how it works out this year for them, for me, and see how we will do things next year. But first of all, we have to keep on winning for me to keep this job!"


Slot previously revealed that his wife and children are the only people he has time for outside of his staff and playing squad in the build-up up to a match.


The Reds boss was asked by Sky Sports earlier this month what his schedule is like in the 24 hours before a game.




Slot said


"It's a lot about watching games of the other team and preparing my meeting,"


"On a game day, I always have my game-plan meeting, which we have tried to implement in the days before in training sessions as well, but then show them even more what they can expect and what we want from them.


"So, my main focus is on my meeting on a game day and to finish that off in the best possible way to prepare the team in the best possible way.


“Afterwards I'm quite relaxed because I think I did what I had to do until the moment the game starts, and then you have to be ready to adjust if needed.


"But I think I'm quite focused. I prefer to be either by myself or with my kids and my wife, I don't like friends or family to come over on a game day because I'm a bit focused on the game and on the meeting I present."
