On 10 Mar 2026 GMT+7, Arnaut Salah, Liverpool's manager and Premier League's 6th place team, spoke before the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 Round of 16 first leg match away to Galatasaray, leaders of the Turkish league, scheduled for tonight at 00:45 GMT+7.
Liverpool will have the chance to avenge their 0-1 loss to Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 league phase match 2 last September. Additionally, this game marks Arnaut Salah's 100th match managing the "Reds."
Arnaut Salah is also in contention to break the Liverpool managerial record for most wins in the first 100 matches, surpassing Sir Kenny Dalglish. Salah currently has 62 wins, the same as Dalglish, but he has reached this in only 99 matches, with the following record:
99 matches
62 wins
16 draws
21 losses
62.6% win rate
Regarding his 100th match managing Liverpool against Galatasaray, Arnaut Salah said, "First of all, I feel very proud to be Liverpool's manager, and this will be my 100th game. I think my record over these 100 games isn’t bad at all."
"Although sometimes I feel differently when listening to everything, I am proud and happy that the 100th game is a good one to play—an away match in the Champions League Round of 16 against Galatasaray."
"As I have said before, it’s never about the manager but always about the players. I will try to prepare them as best as I have for the previous 99 matches."
"But in the end, it’s the players who must perform. I’m very fortunate to have a great team over the past two seasons and this season. I believe these players will show the level we expect from Liverpool."
