NewsAndy Robertson on Arne Slot arrival: 'It's an exciting new challenge'

Slot has joined the Reds from Feyenoord this summer following the departure of Jürgen Klopp.

The Dutchman officially started the role on June 1 but will begin work with the squad when pre-season gets under way in July, ahead of a three-game trip to the USA as part of preparations for the upcoming campaign.

Robertson – who is currently away preparing for Euro 2024 with Scotland – has spoken about his new boss and the excitement he holds for what is to come when domestic action resumes.

“It’s an exciting new challenge,” Robertson told Sky Sports.

“Obviously the old era was pretty special and I’ve got a lot to be thankful for for that manager [Klopp] but I’m excited now by the new manager coming in: new ideas, [a] new voice and I’m really excited for what can come with that.

“I’ve got pretty big stuff coming up before that [with Scotland], so I’ve not really given it much thought and then obviously I’ll try to switch off physically and mentally like always.

“Then come pre-season it’ll be full focus on the new era at Liverpool and trying to get off to the best possible start and helping him in every way possible to try to make that successful for him as well.

“I’ve got no doubts we can keep that momentum going. From all the reports we’ve had, the manager’s very good and I can’t wait to see that up close.”

On the 2024-25 season, he added: “We have to go again. We showed for large parts of last season we could challenge for the league and that has to be the aim.

“At Liverpool the pressure is to win trophies from the fans, and that has to be the aim no matter what season it is. The manager will want to do that as well, he has won trophies before, and he’ll want that feeling again. We’ve got to be at our best to try to achieve that.”
