Arne Slot silenced the doubters in style, becoming the first Dutch manager to win the Premier League and leading Liverpool to a historic 20th title in his debut season.
Arne Slot has etched his name into history, becoming the first Dutch manager to win the Premier League after leading Liverpool to the title in his debut season.
Slot arrived at Anfield with high expectations, seen as a natural successor to Jürgen Klopp after winning trophies and showcasing a dynamic style of play with Feyenoord. But there were doubts — the Eredivisie is not the Premier League. Today, those doubts are gone. Slot is a champion.
Liverpool have been outstanding under their new boss, blending Klopp’s foundations with an evolved, energetic style. Slot’s achievement is even more remarkable given the pressure and scrutiny he faced after Klopp’s departure.
Elite company:
Slot now joins an exclusive club of managers who won the English championship in their first season, alongside Carlo Ancelotti, Antonio Conte, Manuel Pellegrini, and Jose Mourinho — an elite group for a manager who turned 46 just last September.
In pure numbers, Liverpool under Slot led in 52 matches across all competitions this season, winning 38, drawing 7, and losing 7 — an astonishing 73.1 percent win rate.
A milestone for Liverpool:
Liverpool’s triumph also brings another cause for celebration: the Reds are now tied with Manchester United with 20 top-flight titles, further fueling one of football’s fiercest rivalries.
From doubted newcomer to record-breaker, Arne Slot has delivered — and a new era at Anfield is only just beginning.
