Arne Slot's face will be added to a legendary banner on the Kop next season to mark Liverpool's Premier League title success.

The Dutchman guided the Reds to a second league title in five years after taking over from Jurgen Klopp last summer, with the Reds clinching the championship with four games to go after a 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur last month.

Liverpool will be presented with the Premier League trophy after the final game of the season against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

As well as celebrating the triumph of the current Liverpool side, the afternoon will allow supporters the chance to enjoy the celebrations they were denied during the last league title success five years ago.

And in the wake of officially being awarded a 20th league title, there will be a subtle change to the Anfield furniture next season.

Liverpool supporters' group, the Irish Kop, will add Slot's face to one of the Kop's most famous banners ahead of the 2025/26 season.

The banner, which has been present since the 2009-10 campaign, adorns the face of six famous figures - Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Kenny Dalglish, Rafa Benitez and Jurgen Klopp - who have either won the league title or European Cup during their time as Reds boss.

The six-meter-wide and three-meter-high illustration was last revised in the summer of 2019 after Klopp became just the fourth manager in Liverpool history to win the European Cup.

However, even after Slot became just the second manager in Liverpool's history to win the Premier League, it was still a topic of debate as to whether he should have his face added to the banner due to how early the success had come in his Anfield reign.

Paul Larkin, though, the founder of the Irish Kop, has confirmed that the banner will be given a fast-lift in the off-season, with the Dutchman becoming the seventh manager to be illustrated on the banner.

“Some people think it’s too soon, but the criteria has always been that if you either win the league or the European Cup, you go on it,” Larkin told The Athletic.

“The majority who help out with the banner think we should get it updated and I agree with them.

Slot deserves it.”

Liverpool will celebrate the Premier League title triumph with a parade around the city on Bank Holiday Monday.
