Arne Slot's Feyenoord assistant Sipke Hulshoff has reportedly told the Dutch national side he will not work as Ronald Koeman's No 2 for their upcoming Euro 2024 campaign so that he can instead join his colleague at Liverpool.

While Slot's appointment has not yet been confirmed, it appears the Dutchman is edging closer to succeeding Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, and could even 'take Klopp's house in Merseyside well as the German's job,' according to reports.

His assistant coach, Hulshoff, per The Mirror, has now 'announced his resignation from the Netherlands' coaching set up, as the Feyenoord coach looks set to follow Slot to Liverpool.

Hulshoff reportedly informed the Netherlands of his decision to exclude himself from this summer's European Championships, with Koeman now 'on the hunt for a replacement' coach.

There has been a delay in formally confirming Slot's move to Anfield amid complications over his backroom staff. The Mirror claims that Liverpool could only give Hulshoff the green light to work alongside Slot at Anfield, if he was available by July 1.

That means Liverpool could be set to pay Feyenoord a total of £13million to hire Slot and his backroom team, with Mail Sport previously writing that the deal would also see his second assistant Etienne Reijnen and head of performance Ruben Peeters join with him.

This paper also understands that that Slot's former assistant Marino Pusic, who is currently working at Shakhtar Donetsk, has rejected a request by the Dutchman to join him at Anfield.

The Netherlands' Euro 2024 campaign begins on June 16 against Poland, with the final set to take place on July 14. 

Liverpool, meanwhile, are set to fly to America for a pre-season tour, that will see the Reds take on Arsenal on July 31 and Manchester United on August 3 in Philadelphia and South Carolina, respectively. 

Slot, who recently guided Feyenoord to glory in the Dutch Cup, revealed he was hoping to speak to Klopp for some advice, as he looks to get up to speed quickly as Liverpool's new manager.

'I think it’s normal that if you go to a new club that you contact the current coach,’ the 45-year-old said.

‘I did this at Feyenoord as well. It’s normal, all the knowledge a person has from working a few years at the club or nine in this case, that you contact him.

'But apart from that I know his assistant quite well, Pep Lijnders. If there is an official confirmation, it would be strange if I did not call him.’
