The definitive biography of Arne Slot, covering Liverpool's triumphant 2024/25 season.
Featuring exclusive interviews with Arne Slot, Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and more, this is the definitive biography of Liverpool's new manager.
As Jurgen Klopp left Liverpool in June 2024, he proclaimed Arne Slot his successor with a chant that rang around Anfield. The expectations were raised for the man who would succeed the greatest Liverpool manager of the modern era, but Slot's start to life in Merseyside could not have gone any better. By the end of the 2024-25 season, the Reds had triumphantly won the Premier League, with players like Mohamed Salah, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexis Mac Allister regularly putting in career-defining performances. Arne Slot was the Kop's new hero.
Mikos Gouka has had unparalleled access to Slot, his former and current players, rival coaches, and Slot's family and friends for the last two decades, allowing him to construct an impeccable biography that delves into the Dutchman's life and managerial career. From his early years as a coach at Cambuur and AZ Alkmaar to how he flourished at Feyenoord, where he developed his distinct tactical philosophy, before making the switch to Anfield, Gouka reveals everything.
He chronicles Slot's first full season at Liverpool, based on exclusive interviews with current Liverpool players, staff, and Arne Slot, offering insight into the new ideas and methods that Slot has introduced on the training pitches of Kirkby, delving into the tactical evolution of the team over the course of the season as the Reds battled for Premier League glory.
Based on exclusive interviews with Slot himself, Gouka has created an intimate and all-encompassing biography of the newest manager to join football's elite.
