Arne Slot has written an open letter to Liverpool fans following his dismissal as head coach, expressing gratitude for the connection he shared with the club and its supporters. The Dutchman was sacked on Saturday after a disappointing season that saw Liverpool finish fifth in the Premier League, just 12 months after winning the club's second league title in 35 years.
In his letter published in the Liverpool Echo, Slot described winning the Premier League title as 'beyond special' and said the bond with fans 'goes beyond football'. He thanked supporters for making him feel welcome and for their compassion during difficult moments, including an incident where 134 fans were injured after a car drove into a crowd during title celebrations.
Slot also paid tribute to the late Diogo Jota, who died in a car crash, praising the 'love, compassion and support' shown by the Liverpool family. He expressed confidence in the club's future, noting that a new generation of players is ready to write its own story.
The letter concluded with Slot thanking players, staff, and owners, stating that Liverpool's 20th league title 'belongs to all of us' and will remain an important chapter in the club's history.
