Slot thanks former Liverpool manager after Premier League win


Liverpool manager Arne Slot paid tribute to Reds former manager, Jurgen Klopp – who he took over from – moments after his side won the Premier League title.

The Reds defeated Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield on Sunday to clinch a record-equalling 20th top-flight title, with Slot becoming the first Dutch coach to win the Premier League.

"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.

The 46-year-old immediately launched into a rendition of the song Klopp asked Liverpool fans to sing after his final game last May, but replaced the lyrics 'Arne Slot' with 'Jurgen Klopp'.

"I am 99.9% sure that if I pick up my phone there will be a message from Jurgen," he told BBC Match of the Day.

"So many moments in the season the two of us have had contact. I think he showed last season what a wonderful human being he is by introducing me. But what mattered most is the team he left behind that was able to win the trophy."

He also spoke with Sky Sports, and said: "The work Jurgen and Pep did - the culture, work-rate, quality - was outstanding,"

"We started really well and maybe it helped that [Manchester] City had a difficult spell that they have not had in five years. When the season started, we would have been happy with top four. But I don't think that is fair on the players as they are much better than that and they have shown it this season," he said.
