Arne did it right away in his first season, but Jurgen Klopp has also only won the Premier League title once.“Before that, Liverpool last won the league title in 1990. That doesn’t always work.“They would do well at Liverpool to remain calm and give Arne and his staff, with Sipke Hulshoff and Giovanni van Bronckhorst, their confidence."In an interview with Voetbal International, Pusic also revealed he turned down the chance to join Slot in moving to Anfield in 2024 to instead continue as boss at Shakhtar Donetsk.“It was a real pleasure to work with Arne,” he said via Sports Witness.
