Description:
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/>'\

_discovering-degas-the-burrell-collection.webp "GLASGOW. The Burrell Collection.<br/><br/>Discovering Degas: Collecting in the Time of Sir William Burrell is the first-time visitors can see all 23 Degas works from Burrell's original collection at the same time, alongside 28 further world-class paintings, works on paper and sculptures on loan from 13 of the UK and Europe’s finest national and international collections.<br/><br/>Set to be one of the must-see Scottish shows of the summer, Discovering Degas is the first, major exhibition to be held at the museum since it reopened in 2022, after a £68 million refurbishment.<br/><br/>Staged by Glasgow Life, the charity that leads on culture and sport in the city, the exhibition will explore the collecting and buying of Degas artworks by Sir William Burrell and his wife Constance, Lady Burrell, who donated one of the single greatest gifts to the city of Glasgow.<br/><br/>As shown through fascinating letters and other archival material, Burrell is amongst the earliest Scottish collectors to buy works by Degas. Over a 40-year collecting period he bought over 20 artworks spanning the artist’s career, far more than any other UK collector.<br/><br/>By bringing these together with loans from The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, British Museum, The Courtauld, National Museums Liverpool Walker Art Gallery, Museums Northumberland, The National Gallery London, Tate, V&A, Amgueddfa Cymru Museum Wales, Hugh Lane Gallery Dublin, The Hunterian, National Galleries of Scotland and Musée d’Orsay, Paris, Discovering Degas provides an important opportunity to better understand Degas and a unique introduction and fresh perspective on a hugely popular art movement.<br/><br/>Loans are supported by the Weston Loan Programme with Art Fund. Created by the Garfield Weston Foundation and Art Fund, the Weston Loan Programme is the first ever UK-wide funding scheme to enable smaller and local authority museums to borrow works of art and artefacts from national collections.<br/><br/>Pippa Stephenson-Sit, Curator of European Art at Glasgow Life Museums, who co-curated the exhibition, said: “Discovering Degas has been an absolute joy to work on. Degas is one of the finest artists the world has ever seen and one of the founding artists of the Impressionist group.<br/><br/>“He was very fond of Britain and travelled here several times. He cultivated relationships and recognised opportunities for selling his work to British art collectors, who were beginning to develop a taste for modern French art. Sir William had a keen eye for his artworks and collected them for about forty years.<br/><br/>“From modern Parisian life, to horse-racing, to ballet scenes, Degas tirelessly tackled a number of fascinating topics in a way that was entirely his own. His artworks remain extremely popular today, particularly his ballet scenes, but we hope this exhibition offers a chance to learn something new about an intriguing, immensely talented artist. This is a unique opportunity to vi")
