In a great club such as Liverpool, silverware is the currency of success.
No matter how exciting the football your team plays, or the memories made, managers are only truly remembered for the trophies they win.
A cruel sport that can let you go in an instant; managers must perform when the pressure is on to stay in the job.
It is safe to say, Arne Slot has done just that.
Filling the rather large hole that Jurgen Klopp left behind, Slot re-energised Liverpool and gave them a new mission and they completed it.
A Premier League title win in his debut season in charge; he has inserted himself into history and Anfield folklore.
The build up to games at Anfield is always special.
The fans singing in and around the stadium, the bustling sense of eager anticipation and excitement ahead of watching Liverpool play football.
The holding the scarves aloft and the banners and flags lighting up an already stunning Anfield as the teams get ready to face off against one another.
One banner is particularly important, as it showcases the managers who have secured league success in the past.
The banner currently features Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Kenny Dalglish and Jurgen Klopp.
With Arne Slot’s triumph this season, James Pearce has confirmed the news that the Dutchman will now be added to the iconic banner.
Six metres wide and three metres high, it takes pride of place near the front of the Kop before every home game.
The banner belongs to the Irish Kop, an online forum Dublin-based Liverpool supporter Paul Larkin set up in 2003.
Larkin said on the addition of Slot: “Some people think it is too soon, but the criteria has always been that if you either win the league or the European Cup, you go on it.”
“The majority who help out with the banner think we should get it updated, and I agree with them.
Slot deserves it.”
The banner first appeared at the start of the 2009/10 season during Rafa Benitez’s reign and has been a mainstay at Anfield ever since.
