Being manager of Liverpool is more than a footballing responsibility. It’s more than professional, it’s also pastoral. It’s about being a beacon of hope and guidance during dark times. It’s what the club, fan base and local community expect of the current manager, Arne Slot.
When Liverpool tragically lost their popular striker Diogo Jota in a car crash in July, Slot delivered a tribute full of compassion. He frequently refers movingly to Jota’s grieving family. When there was a terrible incident involving a car and onlookers during Liverpool’s title parade in May, Slot again provided comfort with his thoughtful words.
