LONDON, OCT 30 – Liverpool boss Arne Slot said yesterday that Erik ten Hag will return to the ‘big club’ again despite being sacked by Manchester United.
Ten Hag’s two-year spell as United manager ended on Monday with the giants bottom in 14th place following a 2-1 defeat to West Ham last weekend.
Slot’s team added pressure to Ten Hag with Liverpool’s 3-0 win at Old Trafford last September.
But despite the fierce rivalry between Liverpool and United, the Reds boss was sympathetic when asked to comment on Ten Hag during Tuesday’s pre-match press conference ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Brighton.
“He is the manager who makes it difficult for me,” said Slot. “Memories stay with him. We’re all in this job so we know it can happen.
“I know him a little bit and I know how much work he has done. For him, of course it’s a pity. But we also know how well he did at Ajax and he won two trophies (League Cup and FA Cup) here. I think we will see him at a big club again,” said Slot. – AFP
