Despite the emotions of the day, Klopp emphasized that his departure should not signal an end to the club’s achievements.

Unveiling Arne Slot

Klopp’s endorsement of Slot was unequivocal. Leading the fans in a chant of “Arne Slot, na na, na na na na!”, he made the Dutchman’s arrival official. The chant echoed around Anfield, symbolizing a collective embrace of the new era under Slot. Klopp urged fans to be “all in from the first day” for his successor, who arrives with an impressive track record from Feyenoord, having just secured their best-ever Eredivisie points total with a resounding 4-0 victory over Excelsior.

Klopp’s Final Gesture

Before departing, Klopp delivered his signature fist-pumps to all four sides of Anfield, receiving a thunderous response from the crowd. This act served as a final bond between Klopp and the fans, celebrating the successful tenure that saw Liverpool win every major trophy, including their first Premier League title.

Transition to Slot’s Leadership

Slot is set to be officially unveiled next week, with a deal already in place with Feyenoord, including the transition of at least three backroom staff members. Despite the focus remaining on Klopp for now, the groundwork for Slot’s arrival is firmly established.

His words were clear: the success achieved under his management is just the beginning. He emphasized the importance of unity and support for Slot, ensuring a smooth transition and continued success for Liverpool.

In Klopp’s own words, “This is just the start.” His departure, while emotional, sets the stage for a new chapter in Liverpool’s history under the guidance of Arne Slot.
