"Enero Slott" shares his heartfelt final message to "Liverpool" before parting ways.,
On 1 June 2026, Enero Slott, former Liverpool manager, opened up for the last time after being dismissed by the Premier League club. He wrote a 688-word open letter published by the well-known local media Liverpool Echo.
Enero Slott took over as Liverpool manager from Jürgen Klopp in June 2024. He managed 113 matches with 66 wins, 19 draws, and 28 losses, a 58.4% winning rate. He led the team to win the 2024-25 Premier League title in his first year, marking Liverpool's 20th top-flight English league championship.
However, last season was disappointing. Despite Liverpool spending over £400 million on transfers, the team ended the season trophyless in all competitions, finishing fifth in the Premier League and only securing a Champions League spot after a final-day struggle.
Recently, Enero Slott left an open letter to Liverpool before his departure, stating: "You walk out under the famous sign in the Anfield tunnel and feel a mix of emotions and responsibilities."
"Certainly, the great history of this club brings expectations. It is vital to honor the legacy that has made Liverpool FC one of the world's greatest football clubs for 134 years and maintain the commitment to compete for victory and bring success to the globally renowned Anfield supporters."
"That all these feelings culminated in winning the Premier League after just 12 months is incredibly special. It's not just a trophy but a reward for the dedication, sacrifice, and commitment of everyone in the club."
"It means even more because you celebrated with us—singing club songs, rejoicing in goals, and on the day we lifted the trophy, you were there, lining the streets outside the stadium, filling Anfield with expectation after enduring so much loss."
"In 2020, I never forgot how important it was for you to be part of everything. Seeing hundreds of thousands gather on Liverpool's streets to celebrate the title reinforced that thought. What happened on Water Street that day was shocking."
"I express my condolences to all affected. I was honored to witness firsthand the spirit of compassion and unity you showed. This spirit has helped this city through difficult times, and I hope it brings justice and accountability many have sought for years."
"Losing Diogo Jota just weeks after celebrating together was indescribably hard. Above all, I want to remember a wonderful teammate, friend, and human being who inspired thousands every time he wore this club's famous badge during the toughest times."
"When the club faced hardship, the love, compassion, and support shown by the Liverpool family were remarkable. As I leave, I would neglect my duty if I did not say that the way you honored Diogo and stood together to remember him will stay in my heart forever."
"Our bond goes beyond football, beyond European nights under Anfield’s lights or the 'You’ll Never Walk Alone' anthem sung by the Kop. You made me feel welcome from the start and supported me throughout the journey. That is something I cherish."
"Of course, saying thank you is vital. Thanks to every player who wore the club badge with pride and represented Liverpool worldwide. Thanks to all staff, not only those on the training ground but also those behind the scenes."
"Whether maintaining the pitch at Anfield or working in the training ground canteen, thank you to the club’s executives and owners for their trust and guidance. Thanks to the club legends who supported me and instilled the importance of Liverpool’s way. It has been an honor to work with you all."
"Liverpool’s 20th league title belongs to all of us and will be a defining chapter in the club’s history. We should all be proud. This club will always judge itself by its greatest honors. That is how it should be."
"But I leave feeling the club is where it should be—a top European club. Securing Champions League qualification is a significant responsibility and ensures Liverpool can compete at the highest level next season and beyond."
"I leave with full confidence in what lies ahead—players dedicated to the club, those who uphold its values, and who have created many memorable moments and built a foundation that will last."
"Meanwhile, a new generation is emerging, ready to write their own story and bear the responsibilities that come with wearing this shirt. Change is part of football, but I know this club will continue to make its people proud."
"When I first stood under that sign in the Anfield tunnel, I knew what this club wanted. I leave knowing we never stopped striving for that."
Enero.
