A couple of years ago, only Nostradamus or Paul the Octopus could have predicted that Arne Slot would lead Liverpool to their next Premier League title.
Even once the Dutchman had been appointed to fill the gigantic shoes of his predecessor Jurgen Klopp, the believers had switched back to doubters again, at least for a while.
Now, the 46-year-old has etched his name into the history of the club and established himself as a world-leading coach.
Slot's success at Feyenoord was well documented but there was plenty of frantic googling when he landed the Liverpool job and most wouldn't have been familiar with him as a character or his work.
