In that time, the 45-year-old has won the Eredivisie title, the Dutch Cup and reached the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League -- a run of success that has seen him bestowed with the Rinus Michels Award (effectively the Eredivisie coach of the year award) in consecutive seasons.

Sources told ESPN last week that Liverpool have already reached an agreement with Feyenoord for the highly rated coach to make the move to Anfield.

After being cherry-picked as the man to continue Klopp's legacy at Anfield, Slot will become only the 10th Dutchman to take charge of a Premier League club and as such joins some big names (and a number of fellow Rinus Michels Award recipients as the Dutch coach of the year) in the pantheon.

Here we've sought to rank Slot's compatriots based on their respective Premier League managerial careers, from the almost laughably awful to those who managed to at least collect a bit of silverware along the way.

Quite simply one of the most disastrous managerial reigns in Premier League history, De Boer lasted just 77 days at Palace -- a stint that encompassed four league games, all of which ended in defeat.

Under De Boer's tutelage, the Eagles got off to a truly woeful start in 2017-18, losing their first four league games without scoring a goal.

With tactics failing to mesh and morale already circling the drain, the club quickly decided to part company with their Dutch coach in September after losing 1-0 to Burnley, meaning De Boer still boasts the ignominious "honour" of accruing the shortest-ever Premier League managerial reign in terms of games (that's just 360 minutes of game time).

He was replaced by Roy Hodgson, who went onto secure a fairly respectable 11th-placed finish.

Gullit was a superstar signing for Chelsea in 1995-96, with the former Ballon d'Or winner proving a reliable veteran presence as the Blues went onto wrap up a comfortable mid-table finish.

Trophies: None
Highest league finish: sixth (Southampton, 2015-16)

Koeman first arrived in the Premier League when he took the Southampton job in June 2016 following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino to Tottenham Hotspur.

After some solid investment in the squad (bringing in the likes of Graziano Pelle, Dusan Tadic, Toby Alderweireld and Sadio Mané), the Dutch boss managed to steer the Saints to a seventh-place finish in his first season at St Mary's, also qualifying for the Europa League playoffs as a result.

He then went one better in his second season as, with Virgil van Dijk installed at the heart of his defence, Koeman's side rose to sixth place -- which remains the club's highest Premier League finish as well as their best Premier League points haul (63).

Having impressed on the south coast, Koeman moved to Everton for the 2016-17 season.

Ten Hag: You can't make mistakes and win trophies

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says that his team need to cut out mistakes if they want to compete for trophies.

After winning three Eredivisie titles, two Dutch cups and reaching the Champions League semifinals with Ajax, Ten Hag was selected as the man to replace Manchester United's interim manager Ralf Rangnick in May 2022.

Ten Hag lost his first two games in charge (against Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford) to become the first United boss to do so since 1921.

Hiddink spent two brief stints at Chelsea, operating as a caretaker on both occasions and yet still can arguably count himself to be among the club's most popular managers.

The Dutch coach's first tenure came toward the tail end of the 2008-09 season when he stepped in to see out the campaign following the sacking of Luiz Felipe Scolari, while still maintaining his position as manager of the Russia national team.

The Blues went onto win 11 of their remaining 13 league fixtures (losing only one game, against Tottenham) as Chelsea finished third, qualifying for the Champions League and keeping the pressure on Liverpool and eventual champions Manchester United throughout the run-in.

Chelsea then vanquished Everton in the FA Cup final to deliver Hiddink his first major managerial title since winning the Dutch league with PSV Eindhoven in 2005-06, with fans clamouring for their caretaker to be given the job on a permanent basis.

One of the most respected and decorated coaches in European football, Aloysius Paulus Maria van Gaal was appointed by United for the 2014-15 season after David Moyes had been sacked the previous April.

Having inherited what he himself referred to as a "broken" squad, Van Gaal made it his business to rejuvenate United with a rejigged team and a fresh influx of youth talent.
