The 45-year-old manager has been identified by Chelsea as the candidate to succeed Mauricio Pochettino as manager
Chelsea has added Feyenoord manager Arne Slot to their list of potential Mauricio Pochettino replacements, and the club may make a move for the Dutchman.
According to Fichajes, Chelsea admires Arne Slot and may consider the 45-year-old Dutchman as Mauricio Pochettino’s replacement.
If the team’s performance deteriorates between now and the end of the season, the Argentine coach may be fired; among the many options to replace him is the current Feyenoord manager.
The Argentine manager’s performance at Chelsea is still being questioned, throwing doubt on Pochettino’s future there. As the season comes to a close, Chelsea is still a long way from any European spots after surrendering points again the weekend before.
Chelsea drew with Brentford over the weekend, putting pressure on the Argentine following losing to Liverpool in the League Cup Final. Many reports suggest that Pochettino will be sacked at the end of the season, but they may decide to keep him if he qualifies for Europe.
Arne Slot Feyenoord title
Chelsea is only six points behind West Ham United, who sit sixth in the league, making European qualification appear hard but attainable.
In any case, the board has considered several alternatives, with current Feyenoord manager and former Tottenham target Arne Slot surfacing as a potential successor to Pochettino if the Argentine is ousted.
Other individuals being connected with the Stamford Bridge position include Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi and Sporting’s Ruben Amorim.
Slot has been superb in the Eredivisie, guiding Feyenoord to the league title last season.
The 45-year-old Dutchman has only been able to guide them to second place this time, and it appears that they will lose the championship fight to PSV.
In any case, he signed a new deal last summer in response to Tottenham’s interest, although he may take the post if a team like as Chelsea makes an offer.
