Updated / Monday, 1 Jun 2026 07:08 Arne Slot: 'I was privileged to witness first-hand your spirit of compassion and unity' Arne Slot has said the connection he shares with Liverpool and its fans "goes beyond football" after leaving the club. In an open letter to fans in the Liverpool Echo, he said winning the Premier League title was "beyond special".

That is something I cherish." Slot said winning the title was "even more meaningful" because fans were able to share in the celebrations after the 2020 title success during the pandemic. "I was privileged to witness first-hand your spirit of compassion and unity," Slot wrote.

"It is a spirit that has carried this city through difficult moments before, and one that I hope will help bring the justice and accountability so many have campaigned for over many years." Slot also described the "love, compassion and support shown by the Liverpool family" following the death of forward Diogo Jota in a car crash as "extraordinary" and that the way the fans honoured the player would stay with him forever. "It has been a pleasure working with you all," he said.
