Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, lauded Jurgen Klopp shortly after winning the Premier League.
Liverpool’s 5-1 Anfield victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday secured their record-equalling 20th top-flight title, making Slot the first Dutch Premier League champion coach.
“It feels great. I don’t think I want to say a lot. The only thing now is to send my appreciation to Jurgen Klopp,” Slot, who replaced Klopp as Liverpool manager last summer, told LFCTV.
Right away, the 46-year-old began singing the song Klopp wanted Liverpool fans to sing after his last game in May, but changed ‘Arne Slot’ to ‘Jurgen Klopp’.
“The work Jurgen [Klopp] and Pep [Lijnders] did – the culture, work-rate, quality – was outstanding. We started [the season] really well, and maybe it helped that [Manchester] City had a difficult spell that they have not had in five years.”
