Liverpool manager Arne Slot thanked the football community for their support following the incident at the club’s title parade, with the Dutchman pulling out of an awards dinner in solidarity with those affected.

Slot was named manager of the year and Premier League manager of the year at the League Managers Association (LMA) Awards on Tuesday evening after leading the Anfield club to a 20th top-flight title.

He was not, however, in attendance at the ceremony in London having made the decision to stay away in support of those impacted.

I hope that I have your understanding in this regard.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the wider football community, including the LMA itself, the Premier League and many clubs who will be represented tonight, for the support we have received over the last 24 hours.

Klopp was one of five managers inducted into the LMA Hall of Fame 1000 Club, with Jose Mourinho, David Moyes, Ian Holloway and Mick McCarthy also recognised for managing 1000 competitive matches in their careers.
