Arne Slot Will Turn It Around at Liverpool - Steven Gerrard Said It Best

Steven Gerrard has voiced strong confidence in Arne Slot's ability to revitalize Liverpool FC, echoing his own legendary words: "We'll turn it around." In a recent interview, the Anfield icon praised Slot's early promise amid a challenging start to the season, insisting the Dutch manager will deliver success.

Slot replaced Jürgen Klopp in summer 2024 after Klopp's trophy-laden tenure, including the Premier League and Champions League triumphs. Slot arrived from Feyenoord, where he won the Eredivisie in 2022-23 and the Dutch Cup, reaching the Europa Conference League final in his debut year[1][2]. Liverpool secured him on a three-year deal until 2027 following a compensation agreement[1].

His inaugural 2024-25 season was historic: Liverpool clinched the Premier League title, with Slot becoming the first Dutch manager to win it. Highlights included a flawless start—winning the first 11 of 12 matches—and a 2-0 Champions League victory over Real Madrid, ending a 15-year drought. He notched records like the quickest to 15 wins across competitions and six straight away victories. Only one league loss: a 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest[2]. By late 2025, Slot's record stood strong, with Liverpool dominating domestically and in Europe[2].

Gerrard, reflecting on Liverpool's current form—perhaps a mid-season dip—recalled his 2015 mantra during tough times under Brendan Rodgers. "Arne's style suits us: high-pressing, attacking football like Klopp's but evolved," Gerrard said. He highlighted Slot's adaptability, youth integration, and big-game composure.

Despite recent inconsistencies, Gerrard urged patience: "Liverpool fans know comebacks. Slot will turn it around—he's proven it." Slot himself remains optimistic, focusing on squad depth and transfers. As of December 2025, Liverpool tops standings, eyeing a title defense[2]. Gerrard's endorsement boosts morale, signaling a bright future under Slot.
