Trent Alexander-Arnold has posted a heartfelt tribute video to departing Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp following his last game in charge of the club. The German tactician oversaw a 2-0 win over Wolves at Anfield on Sunday, May 19, before taking the time to say goodbye to the fans and the players.
The manager led the Reds to their first Premier League title ever in the 2019-20 season, ending the club's 30-year wait for the English top division title. They also won the Champions League together in 2019. His other accolades include the FA Cup, two Carabao Cup trophies, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
Players like Trent Alexander-Arnold have come through the youth system at Liverpool, trusted by Jurgen Klopp to take the next step in their careers and play for the first team. The right-back made his debut at the age of 18 and quickly became a staple in Klopp's attacking system. He has since developed into one of the best full-backs in the world and one of the best crossers of the ball in England.
The attacking full-back posted this heartwarming video in honor of Klopp:
Feyenoord manager Arne Slot is set to become Liverpool's new manager
It was an emotional day at Anfield, as Jurgen Klopp said goodbye to the club, paving the way for incoming head coach Arne Slot. The Feyenoord boss has already informed the media about his decision to join Liverpool in a press conference.
Slot said (via Sport Bible):
"I can confirm that I will become the trainer there next year. Until now I was not thinking about this being the build-up to my last match, but that starts coming now. At the beginning of the week you are thinking about training and those kind of things."
"But the feeling gets stronger now. That is why I'm a little bit late now [for the news conference], because I wanted to say goodbye to some people personally and take time for them, more than just shaking hands. I understand that good results help, but it is very nice to feel that people really are thinking it's a pity that I'm leaving."
Jurgen Klopp delivered a passionate speech in front of the Liverpool fans and also mentioned Arne Slot by name, even creating a chant for the incoming manager.
"ARNE SLOT, LA, LA, LA, LA,LA," Klopp chanted (via SportBible).
