Slot is being considered a good fit to continue the work started by Klopp at Feyenoord, primarily due to his playing style. This has made him the top choice of Fenway Sports Group chief Michael Edwards and incoming director of football Richard Hughes. Despite the progress being made, Slot is still in his role as Feyenoord boss and was present in the City of Deventer to manage his team in a match against Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie. Cotterill made an attempt to ask Slot questions but faced difficulty as a security guard intervened.

Slot has been cautious to show respect to his current employers but has also not concealed his ambitions. He stated that his next step would not be another club in Holland, expressing that doing so would be a failure in the upcoming years. Slot is recognized for his high-pressing, high-energy style that shares many similarities with Klopp’s style at Liverpool.
