Liverpool manager Arn Slot is set to appear in an elite group in Premier League history – coaches who have won the title in their first season in English football.
It is a special list that does not even include people like the management icons such as Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp and Arsene Wenger, all of which took more than one season to get their first English crown.
But the Dutch who joined Klopp last summer as a replacement for PSV Eindhoven has become a fast hero in Anfield.
101 greatgoals.com looks at the four managers who have been able to carry the cup in their first attempt.
Jose Mourinho-2004-05 (Chelsea)
After taking responsibility for a Chelsea team, who had won second place last year after Arsenal’s Invisbels, Jose Mourinho immediately turned to a dominant force.
With the support of players such as John Terry, Claude Majle, and new signatures such as Peter Sic and Ricardo Carvallo, Chelsea were close to his inability under ‘specific.
The season began with a 1-0 win over Manchester United and ended with 95 points, recording only 15 goals and keeping 25 clean – both were still unsuccessful.
Carlo Ancelotti-2009-10 (Chelsea)
While Chelsea had lost their defense after Mourinho’s departure, they found the form under Carlo Ancelotti – just this time with an offensive attack.
Italy overturned a record-breaking season in which Chelsea scored 103 goals and scored +71, with both Premier League best at the time.
The campaign ended with a domestic twin, although Ancelotti left the following year after failing to add more than silver.
Manuel Pellegrini-2013-14 (Manchester City)
Manuel Pellegrini behind Roberto Mancini took advantage of the post-Ferguson turmoil at Manchester United and sent Manchester City to the top.
The title rose to the telephone when Liverpool were inspired by Luis Suarez and Daniel Store.
But City’s unity – and some unforgettable moments, such as the championship of Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero’s deadly ending, saw that they were leaving the Reds on two points.
Despite long-term management plays across Europe, this is the only domestic league title in the continent.
Antonio Conte-2016-17 (Chelsea)
When Antonio Conte came, Chelsea’s new endurance ended a season under Mourinho in his second game, in the middle of the table and ended in European competitions.
Gos Hiddink’s interim manager had set up the ship, but Conte had a clean board to work with him.
With less playing games, Italian tactics have made their time in the training ground and a 3-4-2-1 dynamic system. Chelsea won 13 games in the middle of the season, efficiently shutting down the title before it arrives.
Conte now finds himself in a comparative scenario in Napoli, looking for a revival of a club that recently lost his way after the previous victory.
