SportFootballMohamed SalahArne Slot has spoken for the first time since Mohamed Salah's Liverpool exit announcement and shared a glimpse into the beginning of their relationshipArne Slot admits he was impressed with Mohamed Salah's professionalism when he arrived at Liverpool before the pair clashed. Salah fell out with Slot late last year and has now announced he will leave the Reds at the end of this season.This campaign will be the Egyptian's last at Anfield, as after nine years filled with copious goals and a handful of trophies, he'll bid the club farewell.



Salah's decision was confirmed via a lengthy social media message, in which he thanked his colleagues and the supporters.But Liverpool's season has not gone swimmingly. He told the club's official website: "He broke record after record after record."Then I started working with him and already the first day I was impressed by his professionalism because as with any season, it starts with a test that shows how much they did in the off-season and he beat all of them.

That hunger never stops and that is something that I find most special about him."Everything he's done for the club, but the moment I started working with him I knew it after one day, let alone after a few weeks or months, that it isn't a coincidence that he's been so influential in the last 10 years in football."Despite this early impression, Salah found himself dropped from Slot's starting XI earlier this campaign. He has since been integrated back into Slot's team and will continue to feature until his end-of-season exit.Liverpool are next in action early Saturday afternoon as they contest an FA Cup quarter-final away at Manchester City.
