Andy Robertson has revealed the difference that he noticed between Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot, after playing under the two managers in his time at Liverpool.
The left-back spent nine successful years at Anfield, where he quickly became a fan favorite and a regular starter for Klopp during an era of change.
In that time, Robertson was a mainstay in the team, helping the club win its first Premier League title - the first top-flight title in 30 years - along with the Champions League and domestic cups.
However, the Klopp era came to an end in 2024, signalling the start of the Slot era, with a change in manager bringing about a change in personality on the touchline.

There was still some success to be had, with some initial continuity, as Liverpool won the 2024/25 Premier League title, but there were difficulties the following campaign.
After a summer of spending and plenty of change, performances appeared to be disjointed and results were far from ideal, as the team finished fifth, with it all culminating in Slot losing his job in the summer.
Having brought his Liverpool chapter to an end with his exit in the summer, Robertson has reflected on the two managers he was with during his time at the club, highlighting the differences between them.
"Every single day in training, he (Klopp) was the one driving it," the former defender said on Stick To Football. "If you'd done something wrong, he would (be on you). Every day, that must take its toll.

"Whereas the new kinda managers now, they're all a lot more, like, level. Even when Slot came in, he never went too high, he never went too low. It was just (makes level gesture with hand).
"It's not as if he's walking about; he was watching everything. As soon as he didn't like something, he would stop the session. Or if he'd seen something he liked, he would shout and scream about it."
One of the accusations that was thrown at Slot was that Liverpool's training wasn't intense enough in comparison to Klopp, though that was refuted by Robertson.
He added: "Arne, he was into all the stats. Do you know what I mean? That's what he was. He brought in his own guy, Ruben, who was always on the iPad.
"Even in training, if you'd maybe done too many sprints or whatever, then Ruben would be like, 'Maybe sometimes you need to come off it.' They were a lot more clued on in terms of load and things like that. He was definitely like that, so then training would be..."
Robertson then hit back at the claims over Slot's training methods, and continued: "See, this is what kinda of annoyed me from last season - 'They're not training hard enough' - we trained really hard under Slot. Some of Slot's sessions were really, really difficult.
"I suppose they (the critics and fans) were so used to us being all-in on Jurgen Klopp, whereas Slot's game was probably a bit different. He wanted to be a bit more patient on the ball.
"Our Liverpool team under Klopp, it was get the ball forward, react off second balls, win the second ball, and we'll play in their final third. Whereas Slot's (play) is a bit more about build-up and trying to move the opposition about. But we were just as fit."
Ultimately, Liverpool ended up winning the league with both managers, but their legacies may be remembered differently in the years that follow. The pair have now had their time with the Reds, however, with all eyes on how Andoni Iraola will perform in comparison.
