Succeeding Jurgen Klopp at Anfield was supposed to be the impossible job, but not for Arne Slot.

00:00工作完成, I love you all, I love everything about the club

00:03but it's time for me to go.

00:06Jürgen leaving, he leaves a big gap.

00:09Anybody taking over from Klopp at the minute

00:12has a huge task ahead of him.

00:14Slott has an opportunity then just to build on Liverpool's legacy.

00:17There are big shoes to fill, but you can also look at it

00:19in a way that you inherit a squad and a team that has a winning culture.

00:24The past has shown that there is a possibility for Liverpool to win some trophies.

00:30I'm so happy that they do so well, that's what I was hoping for.

00:38The biggest compliment I could pay on Slott is to have a miss Jürgen,

00:41and Jürgen is a tremendous manager who put Liverpool back on the top table again.

00:48That's not 0.01% that I think, oh my God, I should still be there.

00:54Not at all, I'm more than happy not to be there

00:59because they are doing so well.

01:01Arne had an almost impossible job to take over with Klopp doing such a great job,

01:06and where the club were in terms of competing in every competition,

01:09and he sort of merged into it like it's not happened.

01:13He's been a great appointment. Everything I hear about him is positive,

01:17and when you see the performances on the field being as positive as they are,

01:21then they've got the right man.

01:23The manager and the coaches that came in have been a breath of fresh air.

01:27I think they've came in with their ideas, said it to the players.

01:31I think we've all bought into it. I think we've all really enjoyed it.

01:36He didn't turn up with arrogance where he wants to say,

01:38well, it's my way or the highway. I think he's done it in a very nice, subtle way.

01:42Between Arne and Jürgen, the principles are the same.

01:46I don't think there's a huge difference.

01:48I just think that now we have more of a structure and some patterns that we know

01:55or we are trying to improve.

01:56It's always been my philosophy, since I've been a manager,

02:00to try to win the game in the end.

02:02But it's definitely also that our players have this same mentality long, long, long before I came here.

02:08So it's probably also the mentality of the club, the mentality of the players.

02:13Maybe that's also one of the reasons why they brought me in.
