I for one don't believe this at all. For the last 1 or 2 decades is there any successful Dutch manager in PL?

No we still have one
Neither did Guardiola but he still tried to play his way when he first went to city then he slowly got rid of a lot of players and brought in players. ETH has just signed a bunch of players from his former team which indicated he wanted to try and play that way. Then we sign Casemiro… who doesn’t seem like he could play that way.
Looks like a bit of a cocky bastard here.
I wonder if there will be a 'Fergie-to-Moyes' type reaction from the players. Obviously, Klopp is not Fergie, but the dynamics are similar in that these high profile players are used to being managed by one of the very best, and are now getting a relative nobody instead. I imagine it could be difficult to gain respect quickly.
Looks like a younger Hank Schrader
He's not cocky, but he's not charismatic either. The Dutch think he's very charismatic. I don't see it.
I wonder how far down the orginal list of choices for new manager Slot was.
Arse Slut
Fixed that for you.
Is he related to Isaac?
Yeah that surprised me too.
At least when we went for Ten Hag his record with Ajax was basically flawless. He was winning the league every year at a canter.
At the time it felt like a pretty safe appointment.
Genuine questions for those who follow Eredivisie.
1) How his style of play compared to ETH in Eredivisie?
2) Do you think his style of play will be effective in PL? Or will it be like all previous Dutch managers going too gung-ho in attack and got properly shafted in PL.

Next season
This gonna be a case of another manager coming straight into a club and implementing his style from the off. And we start calling ETH again for failing to implement any sort of style.
Any excuse to post what is possibly the greatest tweet of all time.Next season

Best of luck, will be interesting to see how he adapts his system to the PL. I think he will be a relative success.
I think it was just a case of finding someone that’s style of play is closest to Klopps. It’s a massive gamble and one I think isn’t gonna pay of. We’ve seen a few Dutch managers fail in the league before, I don’t think this will be any different. They seem to just attack and don’t care about defense which is alright in the Dutch league but not in this league.
Most expensive Dutch coach, not in total
He won it last year, this year they had their talisman midfielder sold and PSV is just on a different level to them this season, mostly due to a better squad but I do think Bosz is just as good if not a better manager than him.
£5m less than Dan Ashworth
This is surely too good to be true?
Seems 3rd
Erik destroyed that league and failed in PL. I don't want to jinx it but this guy will not survive a year.
I refuse to believe that they didn't sign Amorim because of his wage demand. That would be insane shit.
He'll be quietly fecked off after 3 months and the media will barely talk about him
EtH had by far the best squad in that league. Slot didn't and still won it. Looking at the squad quality in comparison to the rest of their leagues it's actually not a big change for Slot, but it was a huge change for EtH.
So they've hired uncle Fester. Congrats.
And then.......Stevie G enters
Hiddink did well as interim for Chelsea and I think Martin Jol was quite useful at Spurs, but even those were a decade and a half ago (Hiddink) and even more in the case of Jol.
We don’t think that
My spider senses tell me this is going to go horrifically wrong and it's gonna be fecking great to watch!
Can we get some more bald managers for the rest of the top 6 too? Maybe break it out and call it the Superbald League.
Seems like he has the reputation of all dutch coaching resting on his bald head.
There is no way we'll pay 15-20m for Dan Ashworth.
Not gonna lie, I think he looks like a thumb.
Interested to see how he does. Seems a bit of a downgrade but I'll give him a chance and see how we do next season before I judge him.

Why you took him and not Amorim? What happened there?
