The 34-year-old has won two English top-flight titles with Liverpool to date, and he personally thanked Slot - who was sacked on Saturday - for his efforts since taking charge of the club on 1 June 2024.

Van Dijk posted a picture of the pair on his Instagram story alongside the caption: "We'll never forget winning the Premier League in our first season together.

"Thank you, Trainer, and best of luck to you and your family for the future."

Hugo Ekitike, who Slot signed from Eintracht Frankfurt in a £69m deal, posted his own story which read: "Thank you for everything you taught me and for the time you gave me, both on and off the pitch. I wish you all the very best, coach."

Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch also took to Instagram to write: "Thank you for everything, coach! Lifting the Premier League trophy together was an incredible achievement and a moment I'll never forget. Wishing you all best for the future."

Rio Ngumoha, who was given his first Premier League start under the Dutch head coach, simply wrote: "Thank you, Gaffer" alongside a folded hands emoji, while Jeremie Frimpong posted: "Thank you for everything, coach. All the best for the future!"
