Instead, that couldn’t have been further from the truth with Slot making Liverpool Premier League champions at the first time of asking.

And, after 373 days away from Liverpool, Slot has seemingly chosen to reward Klopp with a rather wonderful invitation.

And, ahead of their Premier League title lift on Sunday, it seems that Klopp has been left somewhat taken aback by a gesture that Slot has chosen to make.

“Wow, time is flying, 373 days after my last training session,” Klopp said via his personal Instagram account.

It goes without saying that Klopp had a huge impact on the way that things have turned out for Liverpool over the past few seasons.

When the German first came to the club, many likely didn’t expect to have as much of an impact on the Anfield outfit as he did, but in reality, the 2024-25 Premier League title is in honour of him.

Slot only added Federico Chiesa to his ranks during the summer transfer window and, to be honest, they could have ended up with the title even if the former Juventus man wasn’t there.

The team that won the title was crafted by Klopp and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the German regretting handing in his resignation after the success Liverpool have had this term.

So, when the Merseyside outfit lift the title on Sunday, they must remember Klopp because without him, all of this wouldn’t have been possible.
