Slot has frequently mentioned he was grateful for the quality of the squad bequeathed to him and he explained why he publicly thanked his predecessor following the 5-1 victory over Tottenham.

“Why did I do that? Because of what he did before I even arrived here. That’s something not one manager had ever done before,” he said. “That is what definitely helped me, but apart from that he helped me even more with the team he left behind and the culture he left behind in that team.

“The quality the players have was obvious for everyone but the culture of hard work, the culture of not only the players but also the staff members, has been incredible.

“That’s one of the reasons we could achieve what we have achieved this season. For obvious reasons, it was a nice moment to thank him as well.”

Kop defender Ibrahima Konate revealed Slot walked through the door telling his side they could win the league before a ball had been kicked.

“I think he brings something new, like the style of playing,” he said. “Just before we started the season he showed us why we didn’t win the league the year before, some details, and he said if we change that and improve on that we have a big chance to win the league.

“And that’s what we’ve done since the start of the season. We have to be happy.”
