Arne Slot has revealed details of the glowing message sent to him by predecessor Jurgen Klopp following confirmation of Liverpool’s Premier League title win. Following Arsenal’s midweek draw with Crystal Palace, the Reds needed just a point to seal the trophy with four games to spare against Tottenham last weekend and ended up coming from behind to thrash Spurs 5-1 to kick off the party in style. It was a memorable moment for Liverpool fans, who, due to Covid-19 restrictions, were not in the stadium when Klopp’s side finally ended their 30-year wait for a top-flight title back during the 2019/20 season. It also drew them level with fierce rivals Manchester United on a joint-record 20 league titles in total. It has been a remarkable first campaign in charge on Merseyside for Dutchman Slot, who was hired from Feyenoord a year ago to replace Klopp, who stunned the football world last January to announce he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season after nine years due to “running out of energy”. He has since become the head of global soccer for Red Bull. But the German clearly retains enormous affection for Liverpool and messaged successor Slot after last week’s title success, with Slot having paid glowing tribute to Klopp after the match and also sang his name to the jubilant crowd. “Of course, a lot of messages and yeah nine or 10 times they were same, but come from good hearts,” Slot said before Sunday’s trip to Chelsea, where they should receive the first of four guards of honour until the end of the season. “I have tried to answer them all, but with big messages back. It's been amazing, especially Sunday. One of the best days of their lives and the same for me. The way the day went, going behind, we had to work for it, scored the goals. Seeing how much it meant to players and fans was special to be a part of. “The most famous person who messaged me? I assume it was Jurgen! What did he say? Congratulations, now I know what a special club it is, I am part of history, this type of stuff. He was really happy for fans and the club.”
