Who replaces Arne Slot as Liverpool boss suspended?

Liverpool will be without Arne Slot for their next game against Southampton.

After Andy Robertson picked up a red card and earned himself a one-match suspension, Slot followed suit with a suspension of his own.

The Liverpool head coach was booked for complaining about a foul made on Curtis Jones which means he will now receive a one match touchline ban.

That means against Southampton in the League Cup it will be Slot's assistant taking charge of the Reds? But just who is the assistant manager of Liverpool?

Who is Sipke Hulshoff? Liverpool's temporary 'manager'

Slot's assistant is Sipke Hulshoff. He is 49 years old and has been working as a manager since 1999.

He worked alongside Slot at Feyenoord and followed him to Anfield last summer.

Interestingly, Hulshoff was also the assistant manager of the Netherlands' national team until the summer when he quit that job in order to fully concentrate on his role at the club.

That experience meant he was already on great terms with some of Liverpool's Dutch stars including Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo.

Hulshoff has had many interesting roles over the years. He's been a manager in the past at Cambuur in the Netherlands so he won't be entirely alien to the role.

He's even managed in Ghana in the past, working for Red Bull's academy in the region as a manager.

Now he will need to step up as the head coach of Liverpool just temporarily as Slot serves his suspension.

Hulshoff will be hoping to do that by securing a victory and taking Liverpool to another League Cup semi-final.
