It seemed impossible to follow club legend Jurgen Klopp and win the league in his first year, but Arne Slot has done just that at Liverpool.

But now Arne Slot – a man with no coaching experience outside of his native Netherlands, a completely unremarkable CV as a player, and the face of a moderately successful darts player – has led the Reds to the Premier League title at a canter, becoming only the fourth coach to do so in his first season in the competition.

Slot spotted something in training and persisted with Gravenberch at the base of his midfield. And Liverpool found themselves a No6 to help them win their 20th Premier League title. Slot did everything to allow Salah to be at his brilliant best.
