00:00Arne Schlott's achievement at Liverpool has been nothing short of extraordinary.
00:07Despite being tasked with replacing Jurgen Klopp, who had elevated the club to European glory and ended their 30-year league title drought, Schlott has exceeded expectations in his first season.
00:21While the initial brief was to secure Champions League qualification, he has positioned Liverpool as genuine contenders for the Premier League title, a goal few anticipated at the start of his tenure.
00:37Schlott arriving from Feyenoord with little fanfare faced immense pressure in following Klopp's legendary reign.
00:46Many outsiders doubted whether he could maintain Liverpool's elite status, especially after the club's financial struggles following their Europa League campaign.
00:56Yet under his guidance, Liverpool has not only secured a place in the Champions League, but has also surged towards the top of the league table.
01:06So, yes, indeed. The main aim and what they told me is, yeah, look at the players, give your opinion about it so we can go into this project in the second and the first year.
01:21But do qualify for the Champions League. And we all know that even the team that is at 16 at the moment has very good players, but the top eight is all of them have incredible players.
01:34So it's getting more difficult and more difficult to qualify for the Champions League.
01:38But to be honest, if you were to ask this question to me in the beginning of the season, I would say, oh, nice.
01:44But yesterday it wasn't I opened a bottle of wine because we qualified for the Champions League.
01:50We have now, of course, a bigger aim than only qualifying for the Champions League.
01:53Nevertheless, Schlott's vision and leadership have placed Liverpool in a commanding position and the focus now shifts to claiming the coveted Premier League crown,
02:07an achievement that would solidify his remarkable impact at Anfield.
