The End of an Era: Klopp’s Legacy and What’s Next For Liverpool Football Club?

All good things come to an end and while that may be true for Liverpool Football Club, the team is in a much healthier position thanks to Jürgen Klopp. The Arne Slot era is here and while that promises excitement for Kopites, it’s important not to forget Klopp’s legacy too soon.

From a triumphant Champions League win to the first Premier League trophy in 30 years, there’s a lot to remember. We highlight what the German did for LFC below and what the future might look like for the Reds.

Klopp: An honorary Red for life

Jürgen has etched his name into the Liverpool history books, becoming one of the most successful, and beloved, managers of all time.

After an excellent tenure at Borussia Dortmund, Klopp switched to Anfield in 2015. He built a team that could go head-to-head with the world’s best, featuring Van Dijk, Sadio Mané and Liverpool fan-favourite Mo Salah.

Throughout his spell, he brought home trophies from the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup, while instilling an electric style of play.

He leaves with his head held high as he takes a career break before deciding what’s next for him. He also appears to be a huge fan of the new man at the helm after chanting his name on the last day of the 2023-24 season.

Who is Arne Slot and what does he bring to Anfield?

Slot is the former manager of Feyenoord and is from the Netherlands. He enjoyed an 18-year playing career, representing FC Zwolle, NAC Breda and Sparta Rotterdam. He comes into this position off the back of a title-winning season.

Liverpool fans can expect an exciting style of play with the Dutch coach favouring a 4-2-3-1 formation that’s always on the front foot. The high-energy, attacking football will get Kopites on their feet and may help them beat long-term rivals City to the title.

Transfers: Incomings, departures and rumours

The summer transfer window is exciting for football fans, but can also be worrying with the futures of star players up in the air. Some rumours suggest Trent Alexander-Arnold is a target for Real Madrid, while Saudi Clubs are reportedly circling to get Van Dijk’s signature.

In terms of confirmed incomings or outgoings, no new signings have been made, while Thiago and Matip have left the club after their contracts expired. Adrian is another who’s moved away after completing a free transfer to Real Betis.

Fan expectations for the 2024-25 season

After a competitive season that saw the Reds challenging for first place, fans will be hoping they can do that all again, but bring home the crown this time.

Newcomers Ipswich are the first test and supporters will be hoping for an easy win. Champions League nights are back in 2024-25 too, another competition fans will be hoping to win.
