- LISTEN NOW: It’s All Kicking Off! Ian Ladyman reveals his pick for best goalkeeper this season – and it’s NOT Alisson Becker
Arne Slot has revealed what Jurgen Klopp said to him after Liverpool won the Premier League title.
The Reds lifted their second Premier League title on Sunday after beating Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield.
Klopp had encouraged fans to get behind his successor, even singing his name on the final day of last season, and offered him praise after his success.
The German is the only other manager to lead Liverpool to a Premier league title, having done so in 2020.
Slot said: ‘What did he have to say? What most of them said, congratulations, now you know how special of a club it is, now you are part of history, these kind of things.
‘He was really happy for me, for the players, for the staff, for the fans, like we all know Jurgen.
‘I’ve got a few (messages) but he was the most famous one.’
Klopp will return to Liverpool on May 23 for the LFC Foundation’s Annual Gala as an honorary ambassador and guest speaker.
Fans will also hope he hangs around until May 25, when they will welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield and lift the Premier League trophy.
As their last league trophy lift was during Covid at an empty Anfield, this will eb the first time they have been able to do so in front of fans for 35 years.
