Arne Slot pulls out of awards dinner after Liverpool parade incident
Liverpool manager Arne Slot thanked the football community for their support following the incident at the club's title parade, with the Dutchman pulling out of an awards dinner in solidarity with those affected. Slot was named manager of the year and Premier League manager of the year at the League Managers Association (LMA) Awards on Tuesday evening after leading the Anfield club to a 20th top-flight title. He was not, however, in attendance at the ceremony in London having made the decision to stay away in support of those impacted. More than 50 people required treatment in hospital, with 11 remaining under medical care, after a car was driven into a crowd on Water Street in the city centre on Monday. 'As you will know, a shocking incident took place in Liverpool yesterday, one that left dozens of men, women and children who had attended our parade injured, and as a result I have had to withdraw from the event out of solidarity with all affected,' Slot said in a statement. 'This is not a decision I have taken lightly but it is one that I feel is absolutely right given the seriousness of the situation. I hope that I have your understanding in this regard. 'I would like to take this opportunity to thank the wider football community, including the LMA itself, the Premier League and many clubs who will be represented tonight, for the support we have received over the last 24 hours. Football is and always should be a game built on rivalry, but it is also a great source of comradeship, especially at times like this.' 'I would also like to pay tribute to the emergency services and other authorities in Liverpool who swung into action as soon as the incident happened. Along with the supporters and bystanders who helped one another in an hour of need, I think everyone involved in the aftermath deserves the gratitude of all of us.' Slot enjoyed an outstanding first campaign on Merseyside after succeeding Jurgen Klopp last summer, with his side wrapping up the title with several games to spare. Klopp was one of five managers inducted into the LMA Hall of Fame 1000 Club, with Jose Mourinho, David Moyes, Ian Holloway and Mick McCarthy also recognised for managing 1000 competitive matches in their careers. Sonia Bompastor was named Women's Super League Manager of the Year after leading Chelsea through an unbeaten campaign, while Daniel Farke earned the Championship Manager of the Year gong after Leeds won the second division to return to the Premier League. Birmingham's Chris Davies and Doncaster's Grant McCann also won awards following promotions from League One and Two respectively.

Shocking videos and pictures have flooded social media after a car crashed into Liverpool fans at Monday's title celebration parade in the city center. Reds fans descended on Liverpool city center to celebrate the success of Arne Slot and his players, who brought the curtain down on a memorable season by lifting the Premier League title at Anfield on Sunday. But what should have been a jubilant day to bask in the glory of a sensational campaign has been marred by the incident. Merseyside Police has confirmed that a male has been detained, while North West Ambulance Service is on the scene tending to casualties.

Earlier in the day, Slot and his squad were paraded through the city in an open-top bus, marking the first time in a generation that Liverpool fans have been able to celebrate a league title triumph with their players. The 2019/20 Premier League title victory coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning such celebrations were not possible.

Liverpool celebrate Premier League success with fans in city centre parade
Virgil van Dijk conducted the crowd while billionaire owner John W Henry sipped from a bottle of Carlsberg as Liverpool celebrated winning the Premier League with an estimated million fans on the city's streets. Red smoke cannisters were let off as the team's open-top bus – emblazoned with the words 'Ours. Again' – crawled its way through the heaving mass of supporters who defied the rain to celebrate a record-equalling 20th championship. Advertisement They and the club had been denied this occasion when they ended a 30-year drought in 2020 due to coronavirus restrictions but they made up for the missed opportunity on a dank day by the Mersey. The 10-mile long parade took three-and-a-half hours but the finale on the Strand was worth the wait for those who had gathered in the shadow of the Liver Building before 10am to ensure a prime spot. Liverpool City Councillor John Hughes estimated in excess of one million people were attending, beating the 750,000 present for the 2019 Champions League parade. Hundreds ignored police advice not to climb on structures – or adhere to the 'no pyro' request – as every vantage point, ranging from multi-storey car parks, scaffolding, rooftops, on top of petrol stations, traffic lights and lamp posts, was taken.

'By far the number one, far more than you could expect or dream of maybe,' he said. 'I won a few things before but this cannot compare with anything.' It began at Allerton Maze in a relatively calm environment with Henry, in dark glasses and dressed in a red hoodie and poncho to keep out the rain, availing himself of the refreshments aboard the bus early on. The players were taking Van Dijk's advice to make sure they enjoyed the moment, with Toxteth-born Curtis Jones front and centre for most of the route alongside Dominik Szoboszlai and the departing Scouser Trent Alexander-Arnold at the back of the bus, standing on the seats to hold the trophy above his head.

Liverpool secured their second title in 35 years at the end of last month. Picture date: Monday May 26, 2025. Jones said: 'Unbelievable. It's my second one (title) but this one feels more special as I've played more of a bigger role in this.' The first two-and-a-half miles raced by in 40 minutes with the streets fully lined but not packed. The remainder of the route was more of a crawl, often stop-start, and where the bus made the turn towards the city centre at the Jolly Miller pub the crowd was 20 to 30 people deep in places. That had almost doubled by the time they reached the closing stretch where on-board DJ Calvin Harris, originally recruited by fellow Scot Andy Robertson for the 2022 cup double parade but requested by Van Dijk this time, cranked up the fans' favourite tunes.
