“Jurgen Klopp Delivers Passionate Message to Liverpool Fans Following Arne Slot’s Touching Tribute”
Ex-Liverpool Manager Reacts as Slot Equals His Premier League Milestone
Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has shared his thoughts after his old club secured another Premier League title.
During Klopp’s tenure, Liverpool broke their 30-year league title drought, claiming their 19th championship in the 2019-20 season—a defining achievement of his transformative era at Anfield.
On Sunday, Liverpool clinched their 20th league title with a commanding win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, mathematically eliminating Arsenal from contention.
Current manager Arne Slot commended Klopp’s enduring impact, acknowledging the German’s role in building a foundation for success. Speaking to Sky Sports analyst Jamie Redknapp, Slot downplayed his own contribution to Liverpool’s smooth transition following Klopp’s departure.
“This isn’t just about me—it’s thanks to the players, the staff, and the incredible groundwork laid by Jurgen and Pepijn [Lijnders],” Slot remarked. “The team’s culture and quality were already exceptional. A strong start helped, and [Manchester] City’s unexpected struggles played a part too.”
Klopp responded warmly on Monday, sharing a heartfelt message with Liverpool fans on social media.
“Forever grateful for the past, overjoyed with the present, and optimistic about the future!” Klopp wrote on Instagram, concluding with the famous “Congratulations – YNWA.”
After nine memorable seasons at Liverpool, Klopp has since assumed a senior role within the Red Bull football organization. However, his bond with the Liverpool faithful was evident during Sunday’s celebrations.
The transition from Klopp to Slot has been remarkably smooth. Klopp even taught fans a chant to welcome Slot before leaving—a gesture Slot returned by leading the same chant in Klopp’s honor after securing the title.
Together, Klopp and Slot have restored Liverpool’s dominance in English football, cementing the club’s position at the top after decades of pursuit.
