My experience playing for Arne Slot and Erik ten Hag – one was lacking in human connection.

My experience playing for Arne Slot and Erik ten Hag – one was lacking in human connection.

Liverpool’s decision makers have been applauded by some for their bold move in pursuing Arne Slot as their new manager, despite his lack of experience with a top-tier European team. However, personal experiences of midfielder Diemers, who worked under Slot at Feyenoord, and also under Ten Hag at Utrecht, provide promising insights for Reds fans. While Diemers found Ten Hag to be tactically proficient, he felt that there were shortcomings on a personal level.

However, he believes that Slot has shown growth in this aspect over the years. As Slot prepares for his debut in English football, Ten Hag has been facing challenges in his second season at Manchester United, with uncertainties surrounding his future at the club. Liverpool have reached a verbal agreement with Feyenoord for the appointment of Arne Slot as the successor to Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season.

Ten Hag, on the other hand, achieved success in his first year with United, winning the Carabao Cup and securing a third-place league finish. Slot, who led Feyenoord to the top of Eredivisie last season and recently clinched the KNVB Cup, is eager to replicate this success at Anfield and surpass his Dutch counterpart. However, with Slot’s managerial career only beginning in 2019 with AZ Alkmaar, there remains uncertainty surrounding his potential as a manager for Liverpool.
