Former Liverpool player MOCKS Ange Postecoglu
This season was a campaign littered with successful underdog stories.
Liverpool were predicted by some to finish outside the top-four places this season, and the notion of a title challenge under Arne Slot was mind-blowing. Losing Klopp was supposed to cripple the club.

But instead the Reds romped home to victory with four games to spare, one of which was against Crystal Palace on the last day of the season and a unique spectacle unfolded on Sunday afternoon when both clubs gave each other guards of honour following the Eagles' FA Cup triumph.
Elsewhere, you saw Newcastle win the Carabao Cup over the Reds, ending their 56-year trophy drought in a dominant spectacle at Wembley in February, and Tottenham were able to get across the line in the Europa League final last week, beating Manchester United 1-0 to end a 17-year wait.
But Spurs' manager has caught a little bit of flack following the North London side's win, and one of Liverpool's former players was all too eager to poke a jibe at Ange Postecoglu last weekend.
Robbie Keane celebrates Ferencvaros' title win
Of course, Robbie Keane is far more well-known for his time spent at Tottenham, but for six months, the Irishman was on loan at Anfield and he scored five goals in 19 appearances for the club.
While it is most certainly a push for us to call Keane a 'legend', he has featured for the Reds' in charity matches gone by, and so his time on Merseyside is seemingly something he cherishes.
Since he retired, he studied for his coaching badges, and has since managed ATK in India, Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel, and he is now residing in Hungary as manager of Ferencvaros, who won the NB I league this season.
Pictured during the club's trophy celebrations, he said: "I don't win in my second season, I win in my first season", presumably poking fun at the Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglu, who was quoted saying "I always with things in my second season" - a promise he subsequently delivered on.
Whether Keane intends to follow up this season's success by retaining the trophy, we don't know, but Liverpool will certainly join him in celebrating a trophy in his first season, given Arne Slot has done exactly the same thing by securing the Premier League after his move from Feyenoord.

Once you're a Red, you're always a Red and Liverpool will be hoping to immortalise their recent winners even further with more silverware in the coming years, and regardless of whether Keane is able to deliver more trophies for Ferencvaros, we will likely see him at a charity match again soon.
