Arne Slot has already proved to be Jurgen Klopp’s successor in more ways than one. As Liverpool manager and as the only ones since 1990 to win the title. He may in another, too. Slot will welcome his predecessor back to Anfield this weekend to witness the Dutchman's Liverpool lift the trophy. Slot may yet emulate Klopp in a very different respect.
Klopp lasted eight-and-a-half years at Anfield. Slot is completing the first of an initial three-season deal but at a club where winning the title or the Champions League confers a status that can bring longevity. He has begun to imagine a similarly lengthy reign.
