Arne Slot has been officially confirmed as the new manager of Liverpool FC.
The Dutch coach has signed a three-year deal, tying him to the Premier League club until the summer of 2027, and will start work on 1 June.
The side said in a statement: "He will soon become the first head coach of Liverpool FC from the Netherlands - with his first pre-season in charge of the squad set to get under way in July."
It added his appointment was "subject to a work permit".
The 45-year-old Feyenoord boss told reporters he was making the move to Merseyside on Friday.
Tentative terms were agreed in April.
It comes after Jurgen Klopp paid an emotional farewell to Liverpool on Sunday after nearly nine years in charge.
During his goodbye speech, he sang Slot's name to the crowd at Anfield and encouraged fans to show their support to the new manager by joining in.
Klopp, 56, announced in January he was leaving Liverpool because he was "running out of energy".
