Liverpool fans could not believe that their manager’s real name is not really "Arne Slot".

Slot, 46, is likely to become a Premier League-winning manager when his Liverpool side face Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday, with the Reds needing just a point to be crowned champions.

As a result, he will be one of the most popular men on Merseyside. And when such achievements occur, several pets and even some children may likely be named “Arne” as a nod to the Dutchman.

But that isn’t actually his name, which fans found out to their surprise.

One fan said: “Mad when you find out the manager's name isn’t actually Arne.”

Another added: “Just googled this. Not sure I'll ever recover.”

A third commented: “This is how myths and legends die. Delete and we'll pretend it never happened.”

While a fourth explained: “Like finding out Pepe Reina’s name was Jose the whole time.”

So what is the Liverpool head coach's real name?

Well, according to Wikipedia the Dutchman's name is "Arend Martijn Slot".

And of course, his name will not be the talking point if Liverpool secure their 20th English top-flight title on Sunday.

Despite the excitement in the city in the days ahead, Slot is not one to get over excited and revealed he has allowed two days off for his players to be "fully focused" ahead of the clash against Spurs.

"I have to wait and see because I haven’t experienced it here yet but what I know from my time with Feyenoord is that of course there is a lot of noise and everybody is very excited, but at our training ground we are just focused on the training sessions we do and trying to prepare in the best possible way for Tottenham, which is a team where all the injuries are coming back and are a team that deserves our full attention," said Slot in his post-match press conference after the Reds' 1-0 win against Leicester last Sunday.

"The boys also have one or two days off during this week because we’ve planned that already a long time ago and hopefully they will enjoy some time with their loved ones and be fully focused when we are back together to work towards Tottenham."
