Arne Slot is set to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool at the end of this season. The agreement is reportedly done and only an official announcement is missing.
The 45-year-old is naturally compared to Erik ten Hag, another Dutchman with a similar hairstyle making a jump from the Eredivisie to the Premier League.
Dutch midfielder Mark Diemers, who was coached by Ten Hag at Utrecht and by Slot at Feyenoord, has shared his thoughts on both.
“I choose Arne Slot. I can only talk from my time,” the 30-year-old said, as quoted by DaveOckop.
“I found Ten Hag insanely good tactically, so were his training sessions. I just didn’t think he was very good, at that time, on a human level.
“But that was already six or seven years ago. I thought Slot was a lot stronger on a human level.
“Look at what kind of clubs [Ten Hag] has worked at, so he must also have qualities on a human level. I still have contact with him via WhatsApp.”
