Tottenham Hotspur are currently searching for a new manager after parting company with Antonio Conte.
The Italian left Spurs by mutual consent last week, in wake of his incendiary post-Southampton press conference.
Plenty of coaches have been linked with the Tottenham reins, including Mauricio Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann.
Lately, there has been a lot of praise going the way of Arne Slot, another reported Spurs target.
The Times reported just last week that the Dutchman is on the radar of the Tottenham board.
Slot is doing an excellent job at Feyenoord, taking them to the top of the Eredivisie table.
Now, Dutch journalist Marcel van der Kraan has provided a glowing endorsement of the 44-year-old.
He cheerfully described Slot as a “maniac” who plays “ultra-attacking” football, and likened him to Pep Guardiola.
“The best thing about Arne Slot is that he is probably the best attacking coach I have seen in the last 35-40 years at Feyenoord,” he told talkSPORT.
“He is very similar to Pep Guardiola, his ideas are very similar, he is a massive fan of Pep and he plays the same time.
“He goes ultra-attacking, he is almost like a maniac. Not on the touchline but it is fantastic to see how he has turned an average side into a wonderful attacking machine.
“I don’t think he will leave now with three trophies up for grabs, but in the summer, big chances.”
Slot fits the bill for Spurs – our view
Tottenham fans haven’t had much to cheer about lately, with things seemingly going from bad to worse at N17.
However, a manager like Slot would no doubt go down a treat with the Spurs fanbase.
Swashbuckling football is always great to watch, and when that meets regular silverware, you’re onto a winner.
In addition, Slot is a young, hungry manager who’s climbing up the career ladder.
A club like Spurs would be a step up for him, and maybe he can do what Mauricio Pochettino did in the 2010s.
