Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has shared his thoughts following his old club’s latest Premier League triumph.
Under Klopp’s leadership, Liverpool ended their 30-year wait for an English league title by winning the Premier League in 2019–20, claiming their 19th championship. Now, the Reds have secured their 20th title after a decisive victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, leaving Arsenal unable to catch them.
New head coach Arne Slot was quick to acknowledge Klopp’s influence, crediting him for the strong foundation he inherited. Speaking to Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp, who asked how he made succeeding Klopp look “so easy,” Slot said:
“That’s not just my achievement — it’s thanks to the players, the staff, and the incredible groundwork laid by Jurgen and Pepijn Lijnders. The team’s culture and quality were already outstanding. We also benefited a little from Manchester City having a rare dip in form, which helped us.”
On Monday, Klopp responded with a heartfelt message to Liverpool fans, sharing his joy on Instagram:
“Super grateful for the past, super, super happy about the present, extremely positive about the future! Congratulations – YNWA.”
Klopp, who led Liverpool for nine seasons before stepping down last year, is now working in a senior strategic role with the Red Bull football group. However, he remained very much part of the celebrations on Merseyside.
Last May, Klopp helped welcome Slot by teaching Liverpool fans a new chant for the incoming Dutch coach. On Sunday, Slot returned the gesture by singing it back to Klopp — Liverpool’s only other manager to win the Premier League title.
Together, Klopp and Slot have restored Liverpool’s place at the summit of English football, fulfilling a dream that had been more than a decade in the making.
