Nine months on, Slot is arguably one of the greatest managerial coups of the Premier League era, having overseen a seamless transition that now sees Liverpool as the favourites to claim both the league and the Champions League in his first season in England.
The new Liverpool home shirt for the 2024/2025 season features a Chrome Yellow pattern design sees a modernised take on the legendary 84 Home Shirt, a season which saw the Reds become European Champions for the 4th time in Rome and the first English Club to win a Treble of major honours.
With the addition of maximising the potential of players like Ryan Gravenberch, Liverpool have taken a commanding lead in the Premier League, currently sitting six points ahead of second-placed Arsenal with a game in hand against Merseyside rivals Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday.
In the new Champions League league phase, they finished top by two points, securing automatic qualification to the knockout stage after only losing their final dead rubber game due to a heavily rotated squad.
Gary Lineker has heaped praise on Liverpool's recruitment team for appointing Arne Slot as Jurgen Klopp's replacement, saying the club "needed" the Dutchman’s specific talents.
