Liverpool's assistant coach Sipke Hulshoff has said that, despite winning the Premier League title, the "highlight" of the campaign is still to come.

The Reds secured first place on Sunday courtesy of a 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, which ensured Arsenal could no longer match their points total.

It was a day of immense emotion for all those involved, and head coach Arne Slot immediately turned to his bench to celebrate at full-time.

Hulshoff holds a close relationship with the Liverpool head coach and their journey working together began in 2015.

Now they're both Premier League champions, and Hulshoff admitted in a recent interview that the enormity of the situation hit home on Sunday.

"I'm normally quite down to earth.

So we can still enjoy this championship for three weeks, and then the highlight is yet to come."

The highlight he is referring to is the bus parade, which has been confirmed as taking place on May 26, the day after the final game of the Premier League season.

Sipke Hulshoff was also Arne Slot's assistant at Feyenoord.

You don't want to postpone that celebration."

Liverpool's assistant coach made headlines earlier this year when the usually mild-mannered Dutchman was sent off following in a fiery disagreement with referee Michael Oliver after Liverpool's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Both he and Slot were shown red cards and served two-match touchline bans, with fellow assistant John Heitinga forced to take charge of the team in their absences.
