❤️🩹 Arne Slot’s open letter to Liverpool Echo touching also on Diogo Jota.
“That only weeks after celebrating together we would lose Diogo is indescribable. More than anything, I want to remember a team-mate, a friend and an incredible human being who touched the lives of thousands of you every time he wore this club’s famous crest.
"In one of the most difficult moments this club has faced, the love, compassion and support shown by the Liverpool family was extraordinary. As I leave this club, it would be remiss of me not to say that the way you honoured Diogo and stood together in his memory will stay with me forever...
"You made me feel welcome from the start and helped me on the path. That is something I cherish.
"Liverpool’s 20th league title belongs to all of us and it will remain an important chapter in its history. For that we should all be proud...
"This club will always judge itself by the biggest honours. That is how it should be. But I also leave knowing the club is exactly where it belongs: amongst Europe’s elite. Securing Champions League football was an important responsibility and one that ensures Liverpool can continue competing at the highest level next season and beyond.
"I leave with complete confidence in what lies ahead."
