From De Boer to Van Gaal: Ranking all the Dutch managers in Premier League history

From De Boer to Van Gaal: Ranking all the Dutch managers in Premier League history

While nothing is official quite yet, it looks like Arne Slot is all set to take over as Liverpool manager when Jurgen Klopp steps aside at the end of the season.

Slot is currently in situ at Feyenoord, where he has been in charge since July 2021. In that time, the 45-year-old has won the Eredivisie title, the Dutch Cup and reached the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League — a run of success that has seen him bestowed with the Rinus Michels Award (effectively the Eredivisie coach of the year award) in consecutive seasons.

Sources told ESPN last week that Liverpool have already reached an agreement with Feyenoord for the highly rated coach to make the move to Anfield.

After being cherry-picked as the man to continue Klopp’s legacy at Anfield, Slot will become only the 10th Dutchman to take charge of a Premier League club and as such joins some big names (and a number of fellow Rinus Michels Award recipients as the Dutch coach of the year) in the pantheon.

Here we’ve sought to rank Slot’s compatriots based on their respective Premier League managerial careers, from the almost laughably awful to those who managed to at least collect a bit of silverware along the way.
