Liverpool’s transition from Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot had the potential to be turbulent.

Klopp’s impact on the club was immense, turning the Reds into serial contenders and delivering a Premier League and Champions League.

When he announced his departure, many wondered if the next manager could handle the pressure.

Slot, who arrived from Feyenoord, had big shoes to fill.

Taking over a club that had been built in Klopp’s image was no easy task.

However, Liverpool have thrived under the Dutchman.

The Reds sit 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League with nine games left, putting them on the brink of another league title.

His tactical flexibility and ability to maintain the club’s high standards have impressed many.

Now, a legendary manager has given Slot the ultimate compliment.

Fabio Capello lauds Arne Slot performance at Liverpool

Fabio Capello, a former England and AC Milan manager, has been following Liverpool’s progress closely.

He believes what Slot has done in his first season at Anfield is remarkable.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Capello said, “To do this after Jurgen Klopp, who I liked, is incredible.”

Capello knows a thing or two about succeeding a legendary manager.

He took over at AC Milan after Arrigo Sacchi and faced doubts about whether he could continue the club’s dominance.

Capello compared his own experience to Slot’s, saying, “It’s a bit like my career.”

“I arrived at AC Milan after Arrigo Sacchi and everyone said the team is finished, that they don’t like to work anymore, they had won too many trophies.”

“I think it’s more or less the same.”

Coming from a manager with multiple league titles and a Champions League to his name, this is high praise.

Slot still has work to do, but if Liverpool finish the job and secure the title, his first season will be remembered as a masterclass in handling transition.
