Arne Slot and Erik ten Hag could potentially take the helm at two major Premier League clubs next season. Mark Diemers, a Dutch footballer, has worked under both managers and his insights offer interesting perspectives for fans. Liverpool has agreed on a compensation fee to pave the way for Slot to take over from Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season.
The decision is considered bold as Slot has not managed in a top European league outside of the Netherlands. However, Diemers’ positive assessment of working with Slot is promising for Liverpool. Diemers expressed that he found Ten Hag to be tactically excellent, but Slot stood out to him on a personal level. While Slot is preparing for his first venture in the English game, Ten Hag is concluding his second season at Man Utd.
The future for Ten Hag at Man Utd is uncertain, and there are rumors about a potential replacement, including Gareth Southgate. Ten Hag achieved success in his debut season at United, and Slot will aim to replicate this impact at Anfield. Slot’s previous accomplishments with Feyenoord make him an interesting choice, but his lack of experience in a top European league poses a certain degree of risk, as he only entered full-time management with AZ Alkmaar in 2019.
