• Slot delivered the Premier League title in his first season in charge at Anfield.
• Gullit questioned the decision-making of Liverpool's hierarchy.
• The Dutchman departed following a difficult title defence.

The criticism adds scrutiny to Liverpool's leadership over how they handled Slot's exit.
