Arne Slot has expressed his gratitude to Liverpool principal owner John Henry for the trust that has been rewarded with the Reds becoming Premier League winners. Slot was an unheralded name by many when handed the onerous task of replacing Jurgen Klopp in the dugout when the popular German opted to leave at the end of last season.
The Dutchman, though, has repaid the faith shown in him by the Anfield hierarchy by leading the club to a record-equalling 20th championship in his first season in charge. The Reds sealed a second Premier League crown in five years with four games to spare by destroying Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at a jubilant Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool are 15 points clear at the top of the table on 82 points and now cannot be caught by nearest challengers Arsenal.
Henry and his wife Linda Pizzutti were among those present at the stadium, with Slot having a conversation with the Fenway Sports Group chief on the pitch after the game.
And when asked what was said by Henry, Slot responded: “Probably congratulations!
