Jurgen Klopp has warmly congratulated Liverpool on their record-equalling 20th English top-flight title and expressed optimism about the club’s future under new manager Arne Slot.
The German, who led Liverpool to their previous Premier League triumph in 2020, watched on with pride as Slot’s side dismantled Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield to secure the championship with four games to spare. Posting on Instagram, Klopp shared a photo of the celebrations and wrote: “Super grateful for the past, super, super happy about the present, extremely positive about the future! Thank you Luv.”
Klopp, who left Liverpool at the end of the 2023–24 season, has been publicly embraced by Slot since his arrival. The Dutchman inherited a squad built largely by Klopp and has consistently praised both the team’s quality and the winning culture the German left behind.
“I think that is something not one manager ever did before,” Slot said post-match. “But apart from that, he helped me even more by the team he left behind and the culture he left behind in that team.”
Slot also acknowledged the atmosphere Klopp helped cultivate at Liverpool, noting the high standards of professionalism among both players and staff.
Now serving as Red Bull’s head of global soccer, Klopp appears content watching from afar, confident that the club he helped rebuild remains in capable hands. His tribute and Slot’s success only reinforce the lasting legacy of Klopp’s transformative era at Anfield.
