Westerveld has a unique perspective having been teammates with the Feyenoord manager during his playing career.

Slot has emerged as the leading contender to replace Jürgen Klopp at Anfield.

Slot was close to becoming Tottenham manager last summer but could now finally test himself in the Premier League.



The goalkeeper, who won the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup with Liverpool, says it was apparent even back then that slot was destined for the dugout.

'Leading candidate' to be next Liverpool manager is 'like Pep Guardiola'

Asked for his thoughts before his two former clubs, Liverpool and Everton, met in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, Westerveld revealed he believes it is an ideal fit.

Westerveld told Sky Sports: “Well, first of all, I hope something happens very quickly, because I’ve been giving interviews about Xabi Alonso, how good he was, and last week it was all about the Portuguese (Ruben Amorim).

“Now it’s Arne Slot, and in fact I played for him when I played for Sparta Rotterdam.

I think it’s a perfect fit for Liverpool and hopefully he will sign.”

Westerveld is not the only Dutch former Liverpool player who is a fan of Slot’s work.

Speaking to the Liverpool ECHO last year, Dirk Kuyt said: "I am a Feyenoord man and they are doing very well at the moment.

"They have a very good manager in Slot and some of the younger guys like Kökçü and Geertruida are knocking on the door and playing very well.
