Slot has the daunting task of trying to emulate Klopp's remarkably successful nine-year reign at Liverpool. Before his shock decision to step down at the end of last season, Klopp led Liverpool to a host of major trophies, including their first Premier League title in 30 years and the Champions League crown in 2019.
Slot is tasked with maintaining the sky-high standards set by Klopp and the 45-year-old Dutchman is confident he can rise to the challenge. Speaking at his first press conference since his arrival from Feyenoord in June, Slot was asked if it was intimidating to follow Klopp.
"Not at all actually. You can look at it both ways, big shoes to fill but you inherit a squad that has a winning culture. One of the reasons to come here is I do feel we are a real good squad," he said.
