to go, lows. with just six miles to go, tadej pogacar slipped up again because of a puncture. fortunately, it was only a brief setback. within minutes, his team—mate had guided him back to the main group. the slovenian has been billed as the start of this show and he went on to put on a magnificent performance. with 2.5 miles to go, he took the lead. by the time he reached the summit finish, his rivals were nowhere to be seen. britten�*s geraint thomas was third across the line to move up to second overall. but the gap to tadej pogacar is 45 seconds and likely to increase between now and the finish in rome in three weeks�* time. nick parrott, bbc news. britain have won team silver in the women's european gymnastics championships, losing out to italy who won in front of their home crowd in rimini. impressive performances from beckie downie and alice kinsella helped great britain to second place, which bodes

you are watching the football news show on the bbc iplayer. back in january, jurgen klopp didn't so much take the footballing world by surprise but rather a set off a seismic managerial earthquake by announcing he would be leaving liverpool at the season. nine years and seven trophies after the self—proclaimed normal one arrived at anfield to create their modern dynasty. much talk sense, including us on this very programme, speculated on his very replacement. all heavily linked. but it appears that army slot is the man for the slot. the final boss has been touted for leeds and spurs in recent seasons, but is now set to work on after the man who leaves quite a legacy. iii after the man who leaves quite a lea . , ., ., ., , legacy. if he is the one that wants to take the _ legacy. if he is the one that wants to take the job, _ legacy. if he is the one that wants to take the job, really. _ legacy. if he is the one that wants to take the job, really. let's - legacy. if he is the one that wants to take the job, really. let's go i to take the job, really. let's go for it. excited. i like the way his team play football. i can say definitely all the things i care about him as a guy, a good guy.

let's take a quick look at is relatively short career to date. you spent all of his time as a player, as a midfielder in his native netherlands. his coaching career started in 2013 before becoming assistant four years later. in 2019, he succeeded as head coach. in 2021, he succeeded as head coach. in 2021, he reached the conference league final in his first season, losing to jose mourinho's rome. they won the dutch title the following year. just their second since the turn of the century. this season, they have added to their trophy cabinet. lost twice in the league all year and would have won it if psv were not having their own stellar campaign. just how will he fit in on merseyside? good to see you. managers cannot be managers these days. they need to have a philosophy, a style, a brand of football. just tell us what sanders

decent person, once you have got that decency it is a lot easier for players to buy into what you want to do. and judging by what he has done at feyenoord, players buy into what he wants to do. he seems like a perfect fit in the beginning. when alex ferguson — perfect fit in the beginning. when alex ferguson left _ perfect fit in the beginning. when alex ferguson left manchester united over a decade ago, he left manchester united almost at the end of an era. this feels like the beginning of one for liverpool. does he take every liverpool team in a good place, do you think? that he take every liverpool team in a good place, do you think? that is an interestin: good place, do you think? that is an interesting observation. _ good place, do you think? that is an interesting observation. i _ good place, do you think? that is an interesting observation. i think i interesting observation. i think there is some truth in that, of course, because there's been a lot of with different trophies under jurgen klopp. however, alec ferguson, at the end of the career, dominance in the premier league in domestic football. liverpool have not had that. therefore, yes, there is an opportunity. but you are talking about a manchester city side

at the moment that looks very, very well oiled and an arsenal sound who seem to be hanging around. arne slot, if he wants to be dominant in the uk, he asked to step it up to whatjurgen klopp has done. that is not to say that he cannot do it. he has got players who have been brought in the season who have done tremendously well. you will want to do his own stamp on it, bring his players in, of course, but when you've got a playing style, a manager who is not dissimilar to what you are used to anyway, then hopefully the dovetail implementation of the new manager will actually help deliver. and then, yes, it could be the start of a new era. then, yes, it could be the start of a new era-— a new era. comes into liverpool undergoing _ a new era. comes into liverpool undergoing a — a new era. comes into liverpool undergoing a large _ a new era. comes into liverpool undergoing a large amount i a new era. comes into liverpool undergoing a large amount of i a new era. comes into liverpool- undergoing a large amount of change of the field. they have got a new structure, a new football ceo in michael edwards, they've got richard hughes in a sporting director, and arne slot fits into that hierarchy. how do you think that change is

going to suit him?— how do you think that change is going to suit him? perfectly. the former team-mate _ going to suit him? perfectly. the former team-mate of _ going to suit him? perfectly. the former team-mate of mine, i going to suit him? perfectly. the i former team-mate of mine, richard former team—mate of mine, richard hughes, former analysis in michael edwards, so i think this is not something that was just done on a whim. this is something that has a long term plan. succession is always part of a decent business organisation. they have done it with jurgen klopp in this place, it looks like with richard hughes it will be similar come michael edwards i know originally when he was at the club it was a year of dovetailing before he departed and then he has come backin he departed and then he has come back in again. all of these things, they make sense because... this is where it becomes a little bit contradictory in an easy sense when manchester city continue where liverpool died, the argument would be that manchester city are doing things better. i think liverpool are doing fantastically well the way they are doing things, and i think there is an opportunity now with a new manager, with some fresh ideas, but as i say, that synergy from the
