Arne Slot is on the brink of becoming the first Dutch manager to lift the Premier League title.

What makes it even sweeter, is that he will win it with a Dutch captain, marking a historic day for the Netherlands.

Slot has impressed the footballing world with his achievements during his first season in England, taking over from Jurgen Klopp with ease and guiding Liverpool to within a point of the Premier League trophy.

He has built on the foundation Klopp left behind, and has ruled the dressing room with an unmoving calmness that has helped the Reds to achieve such high levels of success this season.

The Dutchman is a man that is incredibly harsh on himself, but also logical in his thoughts, as he is always seeking areas to improve, no matter how well himself or his team are doing.

Despite Liverpool boasting a 12-point lead over 2nd placed Arsenal with four games to spare, Arne Slot believes Liverpool can still go up another level next year.

Adding to the idea of Slot always wanting to improve, he has outlined one objective that he believes he may never be able to achieve – the pursuit of perfection.

“I have always said that as a manager everywhere around the world everyone wants to achieve perfection.”

“That will probably never work out, but even in the last few weeks we are still trying to get better in certain things and keeping the standards as high as we had them for the whole season.”

“We are so close maybe in some parts of the season or in some games but in other moments we have to do much better.”

“That is definitely my opinion but I also know out of experience that you cannot play 38 games at this level, so it will always be a bit like this.”

Not the words you’d typically hear from the manager of a team that is top of the league.

It is further proof that Arne Slot is a perfectionist, and someone who deeply analyses the games his team plays.

This is clear to see in his post-match interviews, where he has often given in-depth explanations on what he believed Liverpool did well and what he believes they can improve on ahead of the next game.

He will be hoping for a perfect performance tomorrow, as Liverpool host Spurs at Anfield, a day where the Premier League title could return to Liverpool.
