Arne Slot Poised to Shatter Historic Liverpool Milestone
Arne Slot has the opportunity to become Liverpool's quickest manager to accumulate 100 points when they face Crystal Palace this Saturday.
The Dutch coach has made a remarkable impact in English football, cruising to Premier League glory in his first campaign and maintaining flawless form in the early stages of their title defense this season.
Following 43 Premier League matches, Slot has amassed 99 points, requiring only a single point from Saturday's away fixture against Crystal Palace to hit the century mark.
Reaching 100 points this quickly would be unprecedented for any Liverpool manager in the club's top-flight history, and remarkably, Slot still has several matches remaining to secure that crucial final point needed to set the record.
Quickest Liverpool Managers to 100 Points
Manager | Games Required |
|---|---|
Kenny Dalglish | 48 |
David Ashworth | 56 |
Jürgen Klopp | 57 |
Bob Paisley | 57 |
Joe Fagan | 57 |
Kenny Dalglish achieved 100 points for Liverpool in 48 matches, which means Slot requires only a single point from forthcoming fixtures against Palace, Chelsea, Manchester United and Brentford to claim the record.
Previous manager Jürgen Klopp reached 100 points in 57 matches, though the German later secured the record for quickest to 300 points, overtaking Dalglish by achieving it in 146 games versus Dalglish's 150. Slot appears positioned to claim that milestone as well.
Throughout his tenure at Feyenoord, Slot accumulated 307 points over 135 Eredivisie fixtures. Surprisingly, this yielded only one league championship in 2022–23, an achievement he replicated in the Premier League within just one season.
