Erik Ten Hag gave a nuanced opinion on Arne Slot’s final season at the helm of Feyenoord.

Liverpool formalized the appointment of Arne Slot as new coach last Tuesday. The Dutch technician, after three seasons at Feyenoord where he won the Eredevisie champion title in 2024 and the Dutch Cup in 2023, will take over from Jürgen Klopp on the Reds bench.

If Slot’s pedigree is promising, his compatriot and Manchester United coach, Erik Ten Hag, was keen to provide a caveat. For the Red Devils coach, PSV Eindhoven, his former club, was much superior to the Rotterdam team.

“PSV Eindhoven were two classes above”

“People have been too lyrical about Feyenoord, Ten Hag said. Feyenoord has been stable this year, but not at the top. PSV Eindhoven were two classes above in every area. In terms of ball domination, pressure, intensity, and so on. »

“Bosz (the current PSV coach, editor’s note) and his team have done an excellent job, but the rest of the club is also well organized. PSV Eindhoven was much better than the others, and even much better than Feyenoord”judged the Batavian in an interview for The Mirror.
