Arne Slot needs to be his own manager. Replacing Jurgen Klopp is an impossible job. Don’t try to emulate him – Listen to the It’s All Kicking Off! podcast
The prospect of a Dutch manager with a near-maniacal focus on tactics taking charge of one the giants of English football has a certain familiar ring to it.
Two years after Erik ten Hag left Ajax for Manchester United, Arne Slot looks set to follow his old foe to the north west of England.
Slot has emerged as a strong contender for the Anfield gig and the unenviable task of replacing Jurgen Klopp, who will depart after nine years in charge at the end of the season.
Indeed, on Wednesday morning it emerged talks have already begun between Liverpool and Feyenoord with the compensation fee set at £8.5million.
While ten Hag’s days at Old Trafford may be numbered following a dismal second season in charge, the parallels between him and Slot are obvious and not just in terms of looks and nationality.
