JAKARTA - Liverpool coach Arne Slot hopes that Mohamed Salah's last season will be a motivation for his team to close the season with a brilliant result.
Slot, as reported by Antara, even called the Egyptian striker a "living legend" of the club after his extraordinary contribution for almost a decade.
"Hopefully he can make his legacy even more special in the coming weeks and months as we still fight to achieve something special. However, he will always leave this club as a legend," Slot said as quoted on the club's official website on Thursday.
Salah earlier announced he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season, ending a nine-year association with 255 goals.
The 33-year-old had a falling out with Slot in December after claiming he had no relationship with the coach after being left out of three consecutive matches.
However, since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations in January, Salah has again become the first choice in the middle of a difficult season for Liverpool.
Currently, the Reds are in fifth place in the English League table and are still fighting to secure a ticket to the Champions League next season.
However, Slot remains optimistic that his team can close the season with achievements, especially in the FA Cup and Champions League.
Liverpool are scheduled to face Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday (4/4), as well as meeting defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last eight.
