Arne Slot has spent seven months in charge of Liverpool, but how does the first half of his first season as the Reds’ head coach compare to Jurgen Klopp’s start at Anfield?

Life as Liverpool knew it was turned on its head back in January when Klopp announced that he would resign as the Reds’ manager following the 2023/24 season.

But Slot has so far not made Liverpool regret their decision to hire him.

So, with that in mind, Rousing The Kop takes a look at how Slot’s record during the first half of his first season in charge of Liverpool compares to what Klopp achieved after taking over.

After working over the festive period for the first time in the 46-year-old’s coaching career in 2024, Slot has overseen 27 games as Liverpool’s head coach since replacing Klopp.

Their record with the Bergentheim native overseeing the action gives Liverpool a goal difference of +46 goals, too.

As Klopp replaced Rodgers as the manager of Liverpool with the Reds already 11 games into the campaign, it is impossible to draw a truly direct comparison between the German’s start and what Slot has enjoyed.

Liverpool even scored 39 goals to 28 shipped, giving Klopp’s Reds sides a goal difference of +11 goals across the German’s first 27 fixtures.

During Slot’s start to life as the head coach of Liverpool, rather than as the Reds’ manager as Klopp was, the Dutchman has overseen 18 Premier League fixtures.

Of those, Liverpool have secured 14 wins under Slot, compared to Klopp securing seven wins from his first 18 games.

Slot has further seen Liverpool accept three draws and just one defeat in the Premier League since adopting Klopp’s seat in the dugout, whereas the German accepted five draws and lost six games after replacing Rodgers.

The Reds also signed Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, but he remained in Spain for 2024/25.

The only new player Liverpool signed over the summer of 2024 under their sporting director Richard Hughes was Federico Chiesa, who was seldom available to Slot after struggling with fitness problems at the start of his Reds career having fallen out of favour whilst at Juventus.

Klopp was more hands-on with transfers during his tenure at Liverpool but did not make any wholesale alterations in his first window in charge.
