I think you're right too. A know a lot of United fans are shitting on his achievements a bit on this forum, but he's been the force behind Liverpool the past decade. He turned them from a joke club back into contenders again. I don't think he's a great tactician or genius, but he used his personality to get the very best out of the players at his disposal, and to hype up the Anfield crowd for so many "must win" games.I know many will shoot me for saying this. Klopp is one of the best manager ever in the PL. I'm so happy that he is leaving. It will be very difficult for Liverpool to find another manager like him again.
I know he only win 1 CL and 1 PL but he was competing with Pep- one of the best ever managers (better than Klopp), City's best in class football structure and facilities, City's bottomless pit, City's 115 charges.
I'm sure Arne Slot is a very capable coach, but he won't be able to replicate what Klopp brought. I'm so glad he's leaving!
PS I've just envisaged a scenario where Slot has a couple of underwhelming seasons at Liverpool, gets the sack and a rested and rejuvenated Klopp comes back as the returning hero....
