Van Dijk will know Arne Slot, not only because he will have played against him as a player for Groningen but also because his assistant at Feyenoord, Sipke Hulshoff, is also the assistant manager of the Dutch national team.

In the hybrid role Hulshoff works alongside Van Dijk, who is the Dutch national team captain, while he also assists Slot at club level.
