People are only just realising Liverpool manager’s real name ISN’T Arne Slot

Football fans only realize that the full first name of Liverpool is not really Arne Slot.

The Dutchman has done a sterling work in his first season at the helm at Anfield since he replaced Jurgen Klopp last summer and brought the Reds to the edge of another Premier League title.

But his real name has confused a number of fans, who went to social media to express their shock when discovering it.

A user wrote: 'Googled this just. I'm not sure if I will ever recover, “.

A second added: 'I have to sit down'.

A further comment was: “I was years old today when I discovered this.”

His full name is Arend Martijn Slot, where Arend is the Dutch word for Adelaar who was given to him by his father.

It comes after Slot claims that the Premier League had become weaker during his first season in England – with people like Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham who cannot live up to fans' expectations with their performances.

Slot said: 'Arsenal does not have to win the Champions League, because we are all sure that the Premier League is by far the best competition and the most difficult competition in the world. I don't think anyone can debate that. “

'Is it stronger than the season for or two or three seasons earlier? That is up to everyone to debate.

'But if you see that Aston Villa is so good against a team (PSG) that together with Man City have unlimited amounts of money to spend – the team that is seventh in the Premier League was a pity not to go to extra time as we did against PSG, but they deserved it.

“And that could be an example to say:” Yes, the Premier League is really good at the moment “.

'But others can think of reasons why it is not as good as last season or the season before. The amount of points can be an argument.

'City, a few years ago, got 100 points and then Liverpool had 99. Was that the best Premier League ever or was it too easy for Liverpool and Man City to win their matches? You can look at things however you want.

'I don't care how other people look at it. The only thing I care about is the competition table. I like to look at it at the moment – and I hope I can still look at it in one, two, three, five or six games. '
