It has been a season of change at Anfield.

For the first time in nearly a decade, someone other than Arne Slot has led Liverpool from the touchline.

There were questions when Arne Slot took over.

Questions about his experience.

Questions about whether he could handle the pressure of managing a club like Liverpool in the Premier League.

But with just a few games left in the season, those questions have turned into respect.

Slot arrived from the Eredivisie with plenty of praise but no Premier League experience.

It didn’t take long, though, for Liverpool fans to see something special.

His team played with confidence.

They showed consistency against mid-table sides.

And most importantly, they kept believing even when the pressure was on.

Now, there’s a big recognition on the line.

Arne Slot has been shortlisted for the Premier League Manager of the Month award for April.

It’s a deserved nod after a month that could define Liverpool’s season.

In April, the Reds beat Everton, West Ham United, Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Those wins helped them stay ahead in the title race and eventually secure the crown with four matches still to play.

The Dutchman guided his Liverpool team to the title during the period, becoming just the fifth boss in the competition’s history to achieve a first-placed finish in their debut season.

That puts him in elite company.

It also shows how quickly he has adapted to life in England.

Slot will go up against Unai Emery (Aston Villa), Pep Guardiola (Manchester City), Eddie Howe (Newcastle United) and Vitor Pereira (Wolverhampton Wanderers) for the April prize.

But Liverpool fans already know what he’s done.

He’s brought back belief.

And now, he’s on the verge of personal recognition too.

The job’s not finished yet.

But Slot has already made his mark.
