Sloot has been out of work since being sacked by Liverpool on May 30 last year, less than 12 months after leading the team to the Premier League title. Sloot hopes to return to Europe's top leagues when the right opportunity arises.

Despite reports linking the Dutch manager to Saudi professional league clubs, the Liverpool Echo understands that Slot is currently prioritizing remaining in European club football. Last month, Fulham briefly mentioned a possible quick return to the Premier League, but Álvaro Arbeloa was subsequently named as Marco Silva's successor, who has since joined Benfica.

The Dutchman has also been linked with AC Milan and is considered a likely candidate to take over the Dutch national team after Ronald Koeman's departure following the World Cup.

Slaughter has been out of work since being sacked at Anfield on May 30, less than 12 months after leading his team to the Premier League title.

The team's second season in Merseyside was disappointing, losing a total of 20 games across all competitions, which led to his dismissal.

However, in an open letter to fans written through the Liverpool Echo after his dismissal, Sloot insisted that a new generation of players was ready to take on more responsibility for bringing greater success to the club.

He wrote: "Liverpool's 20th league title belongs to all of us, and it will forever be an important chapter in the club's history. We should all be proud of it."

"This club will always measure itself by the highest honors, which is how it should be. But when I left, I knew that the club still stood where it belonged: among the European giants."

"Securing Champions League qualification is an important responsibility and ensures that Liverpool can continue to compete at the highest level next season and beyond. I am confident about everything that follows."

"The players have given a lot to this club, upheld its values, and created many unforgettable moments. The foundation they laid will last for a long time."

"At the same time, a new generation of players is rising, ready to write their own stories and take on the responsibilities that come with wearing this jersey."

"Football is always changing, but I knew this club would continue to make its fans proud. When I first stood under that sign in the Anfield tunnel, I knew what this club demanded. And when I left, I knew we had never stopped striving for that."
