Arne Slot cannot say with certainty whether he will also be Feyenoord’s trainer next season. The coach enters MirrorTalk on ESPN expresses to Kenneth Perez that it is too early to decide on that. “No, I can’t say that, because there are always clubs, if they pass by and it’s up to me, you can’t say ‘no’ to that,” said Slot.
Tottenham Hotspur would be interested in Slot, who was also approached by Leeds United earlier in the season. “I also thought Leeds was a very nice club, but it was in the middle of the season at Feyenoord, when we still had so much to play for, so I didn’t think that was the right time. ‘Family wise’ it would also be much better for me to stay here a while longer.” Slot means that his children are currently attending secondary school.

Slot is fixed for another year, but whether a third season at Feyenoord will actually be there is the question. “No, I can’t say that with 100 percent certainty, but I think it’s very valuable to leave somewhere in a positive way.” Lock looks good abroad. “The Premier League is the number one competition, but the developments in Italy are also interesting. Something is happening there at a number of clubs. And Spain, with Barcelona and Real Madrid, always remains an interesting competition.”
Perez wants to know what Slot thinks of when he hears the word ‘top trainer’. “Then I think of Pep Guardiola. Then I think of a team that I enjoy watching, with players who get better under the trainer. I also stand up for that as a trainer. I don’t just want to make the team better, but also the individual. I also strongly believe that the team can strengthen the individual. The team can sometimes make the individual look better than he actually is.”
