Europa staunt über diese Trainer-Leistung: Arne Slot (46) führte den FC Liverpool im ersten Jahr im Amt zum Premier-League-Titel. Die schwere Aufgabe, die Nachfolge von Über-Coach Jürgen Klopp (57), meisterte er mit Bravour.
„Es ist fantastisch, was er getan hat. Die Premier League ist so stark, du musst ein Jahr alles geben. Jetzt, mit so vielen Punkten Abstand zu gewinnen, ist unglaublich“, sagt Frank Arnesen (68).
Der Ex-HSV-Manager (2011 bis 2013) muss es wissen. In seiner Rolle als Technischer Direktor von Holland-Klub Feyenoord Rotterdam verpflichtete er Slot 2021 von AZ Alkmaar.
Liverpool: Arnesen erklärt den Erfolgstrainer Slot
Arnesen: „Als ich ihn geholt habe, waren alle ziemlich überrascht. Ich war von Anfang an sehr positiv, dass er es in Liverpool schafft. Er ist so intelligent, dass er alle Leute hinter sich bringt. Sein Man-Management ist klasse, er ist taktisch sehr stark.“
Hier das Gänsehaut-Video gucken: Meister-Trainer singt mit Fans für Klopp
Und weiter: „Er ist ruhig, er hat Humor. Er führt sehr, sehr viele Einzelgespräche und läuft nie weg vor einer Diskussion mit Spielern. Und er hört immer zu. Wenn ihm der Athletiktrainer sagt, es würde Sinn machen, die Länge der Übungen zu verändern, dann macht er das.“
Gemeinsam feierten Arnesen und Slot 2023 die niederländische Meisterschaft. Ein Jahr zuvor erreichte der Verein das Conference-League-Finale (0:1 gegen AS Rom).
Der dänische Boss, der aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht mehr operativ arbeitet, sondern inzwischen im Aufsichtsrat der PSV Eindhoven sitzt, erinnert sich: „Ich vergesse nie seine ersten Gespräche mit der Mannschaft. Er hat gesagt: Ich habe gute Sachen und nicht so gute. Das Gute: Wir greifen von der ersten Minute an. Aber um das zu machen, müssen wir viel mehr arbeiten. Und wenn ihr vorne den Ball nicht gewinnt, müsst ihr auch mal 60 Meter zurücklaufen.“
[–>So machte er jetzt auch Liverpool zur gut laufenden Maschine. Das Team verlor erst zwei von 34 Ligaspielen.
Arnesen: „Er ist immer sehr klar, wie er über Fußball gesprochen hat. Er spricht meistens über die eigene Mannschaft. Den Spielern vermittelt er: Wenn wir das spielen, was wir wollen, dann gewinnen wir.“

Twins takeaways: In familiar fashion, Minnesota falls in another Cleveland walk-off
CLEVELAND — The Minnesota Twins found themselves in a position they’ve recently been in way too often Thursday evening, watching their opponents walk them off once again at Progressive Field.Run-scoring singles by José Ramírez and Angel Martínez ended a dismally long, rain-soaked contest, lifting the Cleveland Guardians to a 4-3 victory over the Twins in 10 innings, their 12th straight one-run victory in Cleveland over their division rivals.AdvertisementAnd for the umpteenth time, one of the big drivers for another Twins late loss in Cleveland was, of course, their own shortcomings.The Guardians undoubtedly are a very good team, one that has reached the postseason three times in five years and won the division five times in nine years.

New Suns GM Brian Gregory, owner Mat Ishbia’s shared past is impossible to ignore
PHOENIX — Mat Ishbia may have foreshadowed this two weeks ago when he addressed reporters at the Phoenix Suns practice facility, promising change after a season of failed expectations.The Suns owner emphasized the importance of an organizational identity. Like the Pittsburgh Steelers, he said. Everyone knows what the Steelers are about, how they compete. And then:“Or even my old team, Michigan State basketball,” Ishbia said. “You kind of know what you’re going to get when you talk about Michigan State basketball. What is Phoenix Suns basketball?”AdvertisementThat answer is not yet clear, but Ishbia has taken a significant step, hiring the man whose main responsibility will be creating such a vision. Ishbia on Thursday promoted Brian Gregory as Phoenix’s new general manager, the biggest step in a front-office revamp triggered after the most disappointing season in franchise history.
