In his first interview as Liverpool’s new head coach, Arne Slot addressed the pronunciation of his name, a detail that has piqued the curiosity of many fans.
With Slot’s tenure at Liverpool expected to last several years, understanding how to correctly pronounce his first name, Arne, is important for the Scouse faithful. In his conversation with LFC TV, Slot provided some clarity: “In Holland, we pronounce it ‘Arne,’ which can be a bit tricky. I respond to ‘Arnie’ as well, but I prefer ‘Arne’ – as long as it’s said positively!”
For an easy reference, think of former Liverpool player John Arne Riise. Pronounce Arne like Riise’s middle name (Arn-uh), but make sure to roll the R with your tongue.
For those interested, Slot’s correct pronunciation can be heard in the video below.
