Arne Slot was reportedly once branded an 'idiot' by his critics for his bizarre kick-off routine that would see the incoming Liverpool boss lash the ball high into the sky from a restart. <br/><br/>It appears, though, that there was a method to his madness, with Slot, who enjoyed several spells for Dutch side PEC Zwolle during his playing career, seemingly catching opposition players off guard. <br/><br/>On Monday, the Merseyside outfit confirmed that the Dutchman would succeed Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool's next permanent manager after the German had announced he would be leaving the club at the end of the 2023-24 campaign. <br/><br/>The news had all but been confirmed by the Reds, with Klopp leading the chants for the incoming manager, Slot, as he addressed the Anfield crowd following his final game in charge, a 2-0 victory against Wolves. Meanwhile, the departing Feyenoord manager had also seemingly confirmed his appointment before Liverpool's announcement, and was seen singing Liverpool's anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' at a leaving party over the weekend. <br/><br/>Slot has experienced success both as a player and as a manager, notably guiding Feyenoord to the Eredivisie title last year, before clinching the Dutch Cup this season. As a player, he helped Zwolle clinch promotion to the Dutch top-flight after his side were crowned champions of the second tier in 2012 and 2002. <br/><br/>He'd go on to make 176 appearances for the Blauwvingers across his career but was well known for his rather bizarre tactic of booting the ball high into the sky from a restart. <br/><br/>A video has emerged online of the new Liverpool manager performing the interesting routine, chipping the ball into the air before thumping it high into the sky from a restart. <br/><br/>It left some fans online scratching their heads as to why, with Gerald van den Belt, the financial director of Cambuur, telling The Telegraph, that Slot had been blasted by television pundits for the kick-off routine. <br/><br/>'\
