Arne Slot‘s silence after becoming Liverpool head coach has curiously continued on Monday, on a day that also saw the club celebrate its 132nd birthday.
Slot’s silence continues
Slot officially took charge at Liverpool on Saturday, but you wouldn’t really know it!
Since then, it has largely been radio silence at Anfield, with no official first interview released and a generally low-key feel.
Arne Slot has been in the job 2 days now, and we haven't had any sort of interview or media from the club. I'm really surprised by that.

Have to say I thought there’d be some media coverage of Arne Slot’s first official day as the Liverpool manager, maybe an interview. A stark contrast to when Klopp arrived, very underwhelming.

I find it extremely odd Arne Slot started his job 2 days ago and we are yet to see a single interview… ????

So Arne Slot has spoken about the Liverpool job in the Netherlands pressers for weeks and weeks and we haven't had any sort of interview or media from the club still, after some days into his contract. This is weird.

We would expect plenty of content imminently, but having been Liverpool manager for three days now, it seems odd that nothing of note has been said yet.
Maybe we’re just impatient!
