Mark Diemers has claimed Liverpool's Arne Slot is better than Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag after playing for both managers
The newly-appointed Liverpool boss was unveiled to the press on Friday morning
In the aftermath of the Jurgen Klopp era, it is the fear of the unknown for Liverpool fans.
As Unai Emery and David Moyes have discovered at both Arsenal and United, it is not always easy being the direct successor to a club legend who was in charge of the team for several years.
Diemers has eased a few of the nerves for the fanbase after outlining what working with Slot is like.
Diemers claimed Slot was better on a 'human level' which will likely go far with both the fanbase and players.

"I choose Arne Slot. I can only talk from my time. I found Ten Hag insanely good tactically, so were his training sessions,"
"I just didn't think he was very good, at that time, on a human level. But that was already six or seven years ago. I thought Slot was a lot stronger on a human level.
"Look at what kind of clubs [Ten Hag] has worked at, so he must also have qualities on a human level.
“I still have contact with him via WhatsApp. Then he also comes across as very friendly to me. He will undoubtedly have grown on a human level as well."
Diemers spent two seasons away on loan during his time at Feyenoordt
