Liverpool fans have joked Arne Slot is giving off 'Big Sam' Allardyce vibes after a clip re-emerged on social media.
Slot, 45, looks set to be the man to fill the sizeable shoes of Jurgen Klopp on Merseyside. The German announced he would be stepping down as the Reds manager at the end of the season back in January.

"Big Sam vibes," one fan joked, attaching the infamous clip of Sam Allardyce laughing at Swansea defender Chico Flores. While a second shared: "Arne has always been one of us! #YNWA Welcome to Liverpool! Cheers!"
"This clip tells you nothing about Slot, but everything about Antony," a third noted. And another added: "I love him already. Hopefully he kicks Antony when he does this next season..."

According to Sky Sports, Slot agreed a deal to become Liverpool's next manager on Friday afternoon. The Dutch manager has two years left on his contract and Liverpool have agreed to pay Feyenoord £7.7m, plus £1.7m in add-ons.
The Dutchman had already confirmed his interest in the role when speaking to ESPN before Feyenoord's 3-1 league victory on Thursday against Go Ahead Eagles.
"It seems clear to me that I would like to work there," Slot said. “All I can say about it is that the clubs are in negotiations. I’m in the waiting room."
Slot's Feyenoord are currently second in the table, seemingly unable to stop PSV Eindhoven from claiming their first Eredivise title since 2018. PSV's boss Peter Bosz said it would "fantastic" to see Slot take charge of Liverpool, and he "more than deserves it".
