It’s been a big week for Arne Slot at Liverpool.

The Dutchman extended Liverpool’s lead at t♔he top of the Premier League at the weekend after a win against Southampton, while a 🧸win against Real Madrid on Wednesday was a huge result.

Slot has been praised 🦋for his incredible impact at Liꦓverpool so far this season.

However, it’s not necessarily all been great news for Slot and Liverpool this week.

Mohamed Salah caused a stir with some comm🐷ents about his new contract, meanwhile, Liverpool’s biggest rivals, Manchester City, made an announcement that will have huge implications.

Indeed, while Manchester City have been in poor form as of l🧔ate, the Premier League champions did receive a boost recently.

Pep Guardiola has signed a new contract with City, and speaking on the Sky Sports Football Podcast, Arne Slot has now shared h▨is thoughts on Guardiola signing a new deal.

Arne Slot reacts to Pep Guardiola new contract

Slot shared his verdict on Guardiola’s new deal.

Slot says that h𒁃e admires Guardiola a lot and he’s happy that he’s still in the Premier League, but he’s not happy about the fact this will strengthen Manchester City.

“The era I watched a lot of football was when we first had Guardiola and Mourinho at Bar🐟celona and Real Madrid. Afterwards we had Klopp and Guardiola, which brought the best out of both clubs.

“He is one of the best managers in the world, maybe the best manager in the world. It’s nice that he stays in England, it’s good for City, which is not something I like, but it’s a good thing for the English league tha🎃t he’s here. The best players and the best managers should be here.”

Pep Guardiola’s record at Manchester City

Slot isn’t happy that Guardiola h🅰as signed a new deal, but, Slot himself did partly inspire t𝔉his decision.

Indeed, TBR Football understands that Guardiola signed a new contract due to the rising competition witꦯhin English football.

Guardiola wants to battle with Slot and Mikel Arteta for a little while longer in order to further establish his dominance in th🍌e Premier League.

City have been almost unstoppable in the Premier Leagu🌌e in recent years.

However, after failing to win any of their l𝓰ast six matches in all competitions, cracks are beginn🐈ing to show.

Guardiola’s new contract was supposed to give City a lift, but after two poor resuꦐlts this week, that new contract doesn’t seem to have buoyed City at all.

Worryingly, City’s next match is a trip to Anfiel𒐪d to face Liverpool, and if the Reds can 🐭win that game, Arne Slot’s side will almost certainly be title favourites.
