In this Premier League season we can see the confrontation between the two stars of Dutch coaching in recent times: Erik ten Hag and Arne Slot. And they are being compared in Holland.
Thus, the general director of the local Eredivisie league Jan de Jong during a conference in Lisbon compared the two distinguished compatriots, but he prophesises success for only one:
‘I think ten Hag started very well, but as Louis van Gaal said, Manchester United are a very difficult team to manage these days. I think ten Hag has that problem too, but he is a technical coach of a very high level.
But... Arne Slot is something special. He is very intelligent, speaks good English and understands the game very, very well. So I think he's going to be a sensation. You never know, but he has everything to become one of the greatest coaches of his era,’ teamTALK quoted de Jong as saying.
