Jürgen Klopp has expressed heartfelt joy at Liverpool’s title success under Arne Slot, praising the new manager and the team he left behind. As the Reds celebrate their record-equalling 20th league triumph, Klopp’s enduring legacy at Anfield remains deeply appreciated by players, staff, and supporters alike.

Liverpool Crowned Premier League Champions for the 20th Time

Liverpool Football Club have been crowned Premier League champions once again, securing their 20th English top-flight title with an emphatic 5-1 comeback victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday.

This latest triumph brings the Reds level with Manchester United for the most league titles in English football history.

Arne Slot Delivers Title Glory in Debut Campaign

New manager Arne Slot has etched his name into Premier League history, becoming just the fifth manager to win the title in his first season and the third-youngest to do so.

Slot took over from Jürgen Klopp in June 2024, following the German’s decision to conclude a remarkable nine-year spell at Anfield at the end of the 2023–24 season.

During the post-match celebrations, Slot paid tribute to his predecessor, chanting Klopp’s name towards the supporters and reflecting on the foundation laid before his arrival.

“The work Jürgen and Pep [Lijnders] did — the culture, work rate, quality — was outstanding,” said Slot.

“I’m 99.9 per cent sure that if I pick up my phone, there will be a message from Jürgen. He showed last season what a wonderful human being he is by introducing me to the fans. But what mattered most is the team he left behind, one capable of winning the trophy.”

Klopp Congratulates Liverpool with Heartfelt Message

Klopp, who led Liverpool to the Premier League title in 2020, took to Instagram to share his reaction, expressing gratitude and optimism:

“[I am] super grateful for the past.

Super, super happy about the present [and] extremely positive about the future!

Congratulations – YNWA. Thank you, Luv.”

The post received over 750,000 likes within five hours, highlighting the continued affection the Liverpool fanbase holds for their former manager.

Anfield Legacy: Klopp’s Trophy-Laden Tenure

Klopp’s era at Liverpool is widely regarded as one of the club’s greatest. During his nine-year stint, he guided the Reds to six major trophies:

• UEFA Champions League (2019)

• Premier League (2020)

• FA Cup

• Carabao Cup

• UEFA Super Cup

• FIFA Club World Cup

He also led the team to a Community Shield triumph and transformed Liverpool into one of Europe’s most feared sides.

Klopp’s Future: Rumours and Reassurance

Since stepping down, Klopp has maintained that his managerial career may be over. He was appointed as Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull in January 2025, further signalling a shift away from day-to-day coaching.

However, speculation has emerged suggesting that he may not be entirely satisfied in his new role, with whispers of a potential return to management — including a sensational link to Real Madrid.

Klopp’s agent, Marc Kosicke, has firmly dismissed the rumours, stating the 57-year-old is “very happy” in his current role.
