Arne Slot Sets Sights on Unlikely Liverbird Record
Arsène Wenger and Pep Guardiola may have set lofty ambitions for their respective clubs, but Arne Slot, Liverpool’s latest manager, is quietly achieving something equally as impressive – albeit a relatively unknown record.
Ninth Time Lucky for Red Boss
The win at Crystal Palace on Saturday further solidified Slot’s stance as one of the hottest managerial prospects in the game. With nine victories to his name, Slot eclipsed the mark of the Reds’ previous managerial dynasties, marking him as the first ever Red boss to achieve this level of success in his debut season.
Prolific Slot Piling On the Pressure
Comparatively, Slot’s contemporaries, such as his direct predecessor, Jürgen Klopp, had amassed only six wins in his inaugural 10 matches in charge. Bob Paisley’s inaugural 10 league matches in 1974 also fared no better, losing three and drawing one match.
Slot Strolls into the Record Books
This impressive feat, courtesy of Saturday’s win, cemented Slot’s place as part of an elite trio: alongside Luiz Felipe Scolari, John Gregory, and Bobby Gould. These managerial heavy-hitters have all achieved an average of 3 points or more per game from their first four away trips – a testament to the sheer quality of Slot’s fledgling Liverpool outfit.
What’s the Score?
As per custom, the Dutch boss seems unfazed by this early success, opting to draw attention to the inherent quality of the fixtures they’re facing. "We’re not getting carried away just yet," Slot calmly pointed out, "and instead, we’re choosing to focus on the remaining points available in the current gameweek."
