Erik Ten Hag Vs Arne Slot Stats Compared As Liverpool Open Negotiations To Replace Jurgen Klopp – A Rivalry Born In Eredivisie

Erik ten Hag and Arne Slot are two men with completely different ideologies. While Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag trusts his strategies and ensures his team implements them on the field, Slot loves to rely on statistics and wants to micro-manage every minute detail to ensure his team wins the contest. Despite their completely different approach, the two Dutch tacticians have proved their worth in the Eredivisie, leading Ajax and Feyenoord to the league title.

Liverpool’s increasing interest in Arne Slot has been the talk of the town, with the Reds keen on securing his signatures. Slot is a close friend of Jurgen Klopp’s assistant, Pep Ljinders, who will also leave his post alongside the German. However, it seems like Ljinders might have referred to Slot as an apt replacement for the club management.

A move to the Premier League could be the perfect way for Arne Slot to prove his philosophies. In what could be the perfect end to their battle of concepts, Slot could get one over Erik ten Hag by emerging as the better manager amongst the Dutch tacticians. Erik ten Hag has had a torrid time following his move to Manchester United and is under the threat of losing his job if results don’t change in his favor.

How has Arne Slot fared in comparison to Erik ten Hag

While Slot is a new face to the Eredivisie, he has wasted no time leaving his mark on the Dutch competition. Taking the reins at Feyenoord, the manager has made 144 appearances for the club across all competitions, leading them to a win on 93 occasions. His side has faced defeat on just 24 occasions, which is a splendid figure for a team playing over 100 games. (Arne Slot – Win Rate with Feyenoord – 64.58%)

Okay, Erik ten Hag walked so that Arne Slot could run. While the Eredivisie is known to produce top young talent and managers, Erik ten Hag has to be amongst the top managers to come out of the league in recent years. Barring his time at Manchester United, the Dutchman had an impressive run with Ajax. Ten Hag managed the Dutch side on 215 occasions, bagging 159 wins on the way. (Erik ten Hag – Win rate with Ajax – 73.95%)

While both managers have been equally impressive, Ten Hag’s fall from grace has opened the doors for Arne Slot to make a tremendous name for himself. Leading a team such as Liverpool can be an enormous challenge for any manager, and only time will tell if Slot is the right man for the job if the Reds do put a contract on the table!
