Klopp warns Slot on the challenges of managing Salah: ‘I wouldn’t say he is easy.
Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has cautioned Arne Slot about the challenges of managing Mohamed Salah following the Egyptian forward’s public criticism of the club last year.Salah confirmed this week that he will leave Anfield at the end of the season. Since joining Liverpool in 2017, he has scored over 250 goals, won four Premier League Golden Boots, and helped the Reds secure two league titles and a Champions League trophy.The controversy arose in December after a 3-3 draw with Leeds, when Salah said he had been “thrown under the bus” and had “no relationship” with Slot, having been dropped for three consecutive games. The situation was later resolved, but Klopp’s comments in a 2025 BBC One documentary titled Mo Salah — Never Give Up highlighted the Egyptian star’s strong mindset and the careful management required.Klopp said: “I wouldn’t say he is easy to manage, but he is also not difficult to manage. You only have problems with Mo Salah if he is not playing or you take him off.”Slot reportedly used Klopp’s advice to navigate the situation, and relations with Salah were smoothed over before his decision to leave LiverpoolMore on Tribuna.com:https://tribuna.com/en/news/2026-03-25-klopp-on-mohamed-salah-i-wouldnt-say-he-is-easy-to-manage-but-he-is-also-not-difficult-to.
