Arne Slot has reacted to setting a new record in Liverpool’s win over Bologna.
Slot became the first person from Anfield’s rich history to win eight of his first nine games at the helm after Wednesday’s Champions League encounter.
His milestone victory also marked the Reds’ 250th appearance in Europe’s elite club competition dating back to their initial involvement back in 1964.
But the Dutchman insists he is not reading too much into his personal feat despite the early fanfare since taking the reins from Jurgen Klopp this season.
“I don’t draw many conclusions [from the stat],” said Slot.
“But it is nice because so many incredible managers have worked here doing so many special things.
“The only thing is I don’t hope that the only thing people remember me for in one, two, three years – because you never know how long I can be here.
“But if they only say: ‘That is the manager who won eight out of his first nine games,’ I am hoping to do more special things than winning eight out of nine games.
“But it says a lot about many things, it also says a lot about how Jürgen [Klopp] left this club, the squad I inherited, how much work-rate the players put in and how much my staff members are helping me to get these results.
“But again, I am hoping to do more special things than only be remembered for eight wins out of the first nine.”
