“This trainer has made the whole difference at Feyenoord. They still say, ‘We’re doing really well.’ And that’s okay. The league remains the best prize. Then you are not only champion, but you also get much further as a club, because you see all those millions pouring in,” he said.
“Then the question is, what are you going to do with it? Are you going to offer Arne Slot a huge contract, which has never been seen in the Netherlands, or are you betting that you invest more in players and then with another trainer?”
“As a policymaker at Feyenoord, I would rather spend €10-15m on three years of Slot than invest it in three or four new players. In fact, you should give him a blank cheque.
Regarding a possible move to Tottenham, Perez explained: “If I were Slot, and Tottenham came along, I would go to Tottenham. But Slot has dropped that a departure would not be very convenient because of his children, who are in secondary school. That also says something about him. Maybe selfish, but if I could go to Tottenham, then we could also find a solution for the children.”
