Arne Slot or Jurgen Klopp? Mo Salah admits which manager he prefers

In recent years, Liverpool have been spot on with their managerial appointments.

Not only was Jurgen Klopp the perfect man to help oversee the transition of an underperforming team under Brendan Rodgers to a side capable of challenging for the Champions League inside two seasons, but Arne Slot was the ideal candidate to succeed with the German's rebuild blueprints.

Both managers have etched themselves into the Liverpool's folklore, and will be remembered forever for their services to the club, with Slot set to lead the side for many years to come.

One player who has worked under both managers is Mohamed Salah and he has since revealed which he prefers best for getting the best out of his game.

'I'm more comfortable and adaptable with Slot' - Salah

Speaking with Ismail Mahmoud at WinWin earlier this week, the Egyptian laid out his views on the two modern greats who have led Liverpool over the last decade and his opinion was clear.

He said: "The way the game is played is different between Slot and Klopp. Each has his own system. I'm more comfortable and adaptable with Slot. We have more communication than I did with Klopp during his tenure.

"Slot was honest from the start. He started showing me videos and clips of my playing style and asked me to get the best out of me. I told him I wanted to be comfortable on the pitch too. I think he got the best out of me more than Klopp. He makes me feel comfortable. This season's been the most enjoyable for me with Liverpool."

Finishing the season as the Premier League's player of the season, after winning the golden boot with 29 goals, the playmaker award with 18 assists and breaking the record for the most goal contributions in a Premier League season with 47, it's clear why this year has been Salah's favourite.

In addition, he won the league with a packed Anfield crowd at every home game, celebrating the title with the fans and extending his deal until 2027. Every match was like a farewell tour for him.

Now, it goes without saying that Salah still appreciates Klopp, despite him feeling grateful that Slot is now in charge. The Dutchman's management style seemingly fits the Egyptian better, that's it.

Furthermore, it's unfortunate that Liverpool's title win under the German was impacted by Covid-19, so the celebrations had to be completed under lockdown conditions, with Anfield completely empty.

But it should be no surprise that Klopp wasn't Salah's favourite. The winger was remarkably consistent in front of goal during the seven seasons their pair worked together for, but they did not see eye to eye on everything and that was pretty clear watching them in the stands from time to time.

In the interview, Salah addressed their relationship and added: "We have won many things and championships together, and differences always occur in this game, whether it appears in the media or remains behind closed doors."

As such, it seems reasonable to suggest that they weren't quite a perfect match for each other, although Klopp certainly managed to take Salah's game to a new level from his days at Roma.

Furthermore, if Salah feels more comfortable under Slot and this kind of campaign is what we are likely to see moving forward, then the change in leadership might have been exactly what Salah was looking for in order to agree to extending his time at Liverpool. For that, the fans won't mind at all.
