Netherlands Negotiates With Slot For National Team Coach
The Dutch Football Association is negotiating with Arne Slot to become the national team coach following Ronald Koeman's resignation after the Netherlands' World Cup elimination on penalties to Morocco.
The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) is in negotiations with Arne Slot regarding his appointment as national team head coach to replace Ronald Koeman, who has resigned.
According to Sky Sports, the KNVB is discussing the coaching position with Slot. At this World Cup, the Netherlands was eliminated at the round of 32 after drawing 1-1 with Morocco through 120 minutes, then losing 2-3 on penalties. This prompted head coach Ronald Koeman to step down.
Slot is currently without a club after Liverpool dismissed him over disappointing recent season results, despite his previous season leading the club to a league championship.
The KNVB has initiated preliminary talks with Slot, though other coaches remain under consideration as well, including Erik ten Hag, who currently serves as technical director at Twente in the Dutch league.
Before his time at Liverpool, Slot found success managing Feyenoord, winning both the Eredivisie and KNVB Cup titles once each.
