The Reds also reached the League Cup final during Slot\u2019s maiden season, though were beaten 2-1 by Newcastle United at Wembley.<\/p>\n
On a personal level, the boss was chosen as both the LMA Manager of the Year and Premier League Manager of the Season.<\/p>\n
That memorable campaign was followed by tragedy as Liverpool forward Diogo Jota lost his life, alongside his brother Andr\u00e9 Silva, in a car accident in July 2025.<\/p>\n
Acknowledging Slot\u2019s leadership at a time of incredible shock and sadness, the club\u2019s owners said: \u201cHe also helped guide the club through one of the most difficult periods imaginable following the loss of Diogo.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe compassion and humanity he showed throughout that time said a great deal about him as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n
Slot led the team to a winning resumption of competitive football at the outset of 2025-26, including five victories in a row to start their title defence.<\/p>\n
It would prove to be a challenging campaign, however, which saw the Reds finish in fifth place in the Premier League and confirm a return to the Champions League next season.<\/p>\n
\u201cArne leaves with our gratitude,\u201d stressed LFC\u2019s ownership when it was announced Slot\u2019s tenure has now come to an end.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a Premier League title to his name, and with the knowledge that he and his family will always be welcomed back at Anfield.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
