The former Liverpool forward is certain soon to depart Feyenoord Coach Slot will be qualified to lead duties at Anfield but will also hope the Reds exercise enough patience for the Dutch Man because the premier League is made for the big heart.
He spoke saying to the Athletic “A Dutch manager will naturally want to play football, especially if they have been in the top three in Holland. But different rules apply in the Premier League.
“Erik ten Hag had done a very good job at Ajax, the players he had there could really execute his vision and that made him look good as a coach. And now he’s at Man United, a big team as well. He wanted to apply his vision but, for some reason, it doesn’t really come and now people question whether he is a really good manager or not.
“So it’s a fine line to see if a new coach has the squad in place to immediately realise their vision. New coaches always naturally have time, the question is how much time does Slot get? Liverpool have been spoilt with the Jurgen Klopp philosophy and era. I think anything less, then frustration will kick in very, very quickly.”
Liverpool is set to miss out on their German coach who has taken charge of affairs for nearly seven years and during this time he left a mark at Anfield that probably no one can outdo his achievement.
The world of football all the same is full of surprises and who knows maybe just maybe Slot might pull out a surprise and even go on to achieve bigger things.
