"A Great Player and a Great Person" - Arne Slot on Andy Robertson's Departure Andy Robertson has confirmed he will leave Liverpool at the end of the 2024-25 season, marking the end of a nine-year tenure with the club. The Scotland international, who has been a key figure in Liverpool’s success during his time at Anfield, announced his decision on Thursday evening, citing the conclusion of his current contract as the reason for his exit. Robertson, who has worn the number 26 jersey since joining the club in 2015, will depart after contributing to multiple major trophies, including two Premier League titles, the Champions League, FA Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and two Carabao Cups. Arne Slot, Liverpool’s head coach, expressed his admiration for Robertson during a pre-Fulham press conference on Friday, highlighting both the player’s professional achievements and his personal qualities. Slot emphasized that Robertson’s impact extended beyond his performances on the pitch, noting how the defender had become a beloved figure within the club’s culture. “First of all, he had many great seasons here as a player, but I think people got to know him as a great person as well,” Slot said. “I got to know him as a great person. I think every teammate of his will tell you how funny he is and how great of a person he is. I think that has been shown a lot on social media as well from our social media people.” Slot reflected on specific memories of Robertson’s career, including his technical versatility and work ethic. He recalled how Robertson’s ability to transition from full-back to wing-back had been a standout trait, even sharing an example from his own coaching days.#liverpool #andy_robertson #arne_slot #pre_fulham_press_conference #carabao_cups
