Liverpool manager Arne Slot has officially named Andy Robertson as the team’s vice-captain after the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid. Robertson, who captained the team last season alongside Mo Salah, has now been designated as the second-in-command behind Virgil van Dijk.
Having been a key player for Liverpool for eight years, Robertson faced speculation about a potential transfer, especially with interest from Atletico Madrid and increased competition with the arrival of Milos Kerkez. However, Slot emphasized Robertson’s experience, leadership qualities, and understanding of the club’s ethos in appointing him as vice-captain.
Slot highlighted Robertson’s contributions both on and off the pitch, citing his role in maintaining the club’s culture. Looking ahead, Slot indicated the possibility of further squad strengthening before the transfer deadline, contingent on finding suitable opportunities within the budget.
