The Dutch coach, who led the club to the coveted league title during his first season in charge, will see his team kick off their 2025-26 campaign at Anfield on Friday night when they play Bournemouth.
Barnes has praised the way both Slot and the players conducted themselves.
“It’s very interesting, because of course when Arne Slot came, there were no new signings, no changes,” Barnes, a two-time title winner with Liverpool in 1988 and 1990, told Arab News at the Adidas Flagship Store in Dubai Mall.
