The Jurgen Klopp era has ended, and Arne Slot's era begins on the Liverpool bench. The English club, having bid farewell to its guru at the end of last season after 9 years and 8 trophies (including the Champions League in 2019 and the long-awaited Premier League title in 2020), is set to develop a new and significant cycle with the former Feyenoord coach.
John Heitinga, a 40-year-old former Dutch defender from Everton, Liverpool's historic rival, has been chosen as the assistant coach. Last season could have ended gloriously with Klopp's final dance, but Liverpool managed to secure only the English League Cup (the tenth in its history, a record). However, there is a sense of optimism and curiosity around Anfield for the upcoming season.
Liverpool will start the 2024/2025 Premier League season away at Portman Road against newly promoted Ipswich Town on Saturday, August 17, at 1:30 PM. On Sunday, August 25, they will face Brentford at Anfield. The third matchday will feature the famous North-West Derby against Manchester United (Sunday, September 1, at 4:00 PM at Old Trafford).
