Shaun Botterill/Getty Images Dutch journalist Valentijn Driessen has urged the Dutch FA to find common ground with former Liverpool boss Arne Slot over taking charge of the Netherlands. Now, Driessen revealed that Slot would prefer an initial two-year deal, while the Dutch FA are pushing for a four-year agreement.

Driessen also stressed there was a straightforward alternative should Slot’s proposed two-year spell not work out, pointing to Peter Bosz as the obvious successor. Driessen said on the Kick-Off podcast (via Dutch outlet Voetbal Primeur): “I heard something about Slot wanting to sign for two years.

Whether Slot ultimately succeeds Koeman in the Netherlands dugout remains to be seen, with the Dutch FA yet to reach a final decision over the appointment. Meanwhile, Liverpool are believed to be ready to honour the remainder of Slot’s financial agreement with the club if he takes over the Netherlands, enabling him to accept a lower salary from the Dutch FA without reducing his overall income.
