Slot expects to see sacked Ten Hag at 'a big club again'

SPORTS 29.10.2024

Liverpool boss Arne Slot insisted Tuesday that Erik ten Hag will be back at "a big club again" despite being sacked by Manchester United.

Text size:

Ten Hag's two-year reign as United manager ended on Monday, with the fallen English giants a lowly 14th in the table following last weekend's 2-1 loss away to West Ham -- his final game in charge.

Slot's side had piled the pressure on fellow Dutch manager Ten Hag with a 3-0 win at Old Trafford in September.

But despite the bitter rivalry between Liverpool and United, the Reds boss -- in his first season in the Anfield hotseat after succeeding Jurgen Klopp -- was sympathetic when asked to comment about Ten Hag during a pre-match press conference on Tuesday ahead of Liverpool's League Cup tie away to Brighton.

"He's a Dutch manager which makes it even harder for me," said Slot, 46. "Thoughts are with him. We are all in this job so we know it can happen.

"I know him a little bit and I know how much work he puts into it. For him, it's, of course, a pity. But we also know how well he did at Ajax and that he won two trophies (the League Cup and FA Cup) over here.

"I think we'll see him at a big club again."
