Slott lost his arm, coaching team will be rebuilt

Dutchman Slot succeeded in his first season in coaching Liverpool. He only took over the Reds coach from German Klopp last summer and led Liverpool in the 2024/25 season for five years and won the Premier League again. The Reds' coaching position has been smoothly transitioned, and Slott is naturally retained, which makes Manchester United fans who have tried and wrong again and again envied.

Just as Slot was looking forward to the next season with great enthusiasm, he also encountered some trouble, that is, a right-hand man was about to leave. When Slot came to Anfield last year, he brought two Dutch fellow assistant coaches, Heatinga and Helshov. The Dutch trio has a clear division of labor and a perfect collaboration, and has efficiently completed the coaching team work at Liverpool last season. Among the two assistant coaches, Hetinga, who has played 87 times for the Dutch national team during his time, is more familiar to fans. Heatinga is only 41 years old, 5 years younger than Slot. Before assisting Slot to coach Liverpool, he served as the head coach of Ajax's all-age echelons for a long time. He also served as the head coach of Ajax's first team in more than five months in the second half of the 2022/23 season. That season, Ajax finally ranked third in the Eredivisie, losing to his old rival Eindhoven in the Dutch Cup final, and Heatinga was unable to be straightened by Ajax.

Hetinga then joined Moyce's team as West Ham United assistant coach until last summer he followed Slott to Anfield.

Now, Haitingjia is eager to go solo and start a new coaching career. The old club Ajax is waiting for his position as head coach. Hetinga is welcome to coach. Bundesliga team Wolfsburg also expressed interest in Hetinga. Heatinga personally prefers Ajax, who has played for both players and coaching, and negotiations between the two sides are in full swing. It is a high probability that Heatinga's departure from Anfield.

Originally, Slot had Hetinga and Helshov, the right-hand man who helped him, and often achieved twice the result with half the effort. It seems that Slot is about to lose his arm, and he still has to find another assistant outside of Khlsov.
