What's his record like in Europe?

2019/20 - AZ finished 2nd in a Europa League group including Man Utd, Astana and Partizan. Knocked out by LASK.
2020/21 - AZ finished 3rd in a Europa League group including Napoli, Real Sociedad and Rijeka, but Slot moved on before the final group game. Beat Napoli away and got a draw at home.
2021/22 - Feyenoord topped a Conference League Group with Union Berlin, Slavia Prague and Maccabi Haifa. Beat Partizan, Slavia Prague and Marseille on the way to the final. Lost to Roma.
2022/23 - Feyenoord topped a EL group with Lazio, Sturm Graz and Midtjylland. Thumped Shakhtar in the Round of 16. Knocked out by Roma in the QFs
2023/24 - Feyenoord finished third in a CL group with Lazio, Atletico Madrid and Celtic. Beat Celtic and Lazio at home. Knocked out by Roma in the EL

Every time they play Roma they go out. The problem is in all three of his seasons there they've played Roma.

The same Roma who got pumped 6-1 by Bodø Glimt. Again, excellent.

Got them to a Conference league final when Mourinho who shithoused his way to a win. Better than that bearded fella in Lisbon though.

But still a slightly lesser achievement than Moyes then. Excellent.

Virgo and Doherty have to be the absolute worst commentary pairing in the history of snooker. So fucking annoying and just talk complete shite for the sake of talking complete shite.

I've heard Virgo is a genuine nice bloke, but his commentary is awful, he just painfully constantly waffles endlessly on, that i have to turn the volume on mute when he's commentating, best commentators shut the fuck up & let the picture do the talking.

I know he's been dead for a few years but Willie Thorne was one of the worst commentators, he would always suggest a shot for a player to take, Thorne would pat himself on the back should he guess correctly, then bemoan for the rest of the frame, & next frame should the player then take a different shot from the one he suggested.

Possibly but the contract is just another reason to question him as well as how it looks to the outside world.

Kloppp had an aura, and was a draw in himself. Instant respect amongst top-tier players, a big advantage both in the dressing room and when recruiting. Alonso, as much as you hate the thought, would have the same. Amorim less so but certainly more than Slot.

Recruitment is a concern though, and I hope our scouting network and empowered nerds ensure they run the show here, so we avoid the Ten Hag methodology. In other words, post-Klopp, he needs to be much more of a coach than a manager.

Mourinho is bitter enough to think how is a guy I done over twice in Europe getting the Liverpool job ahead of me

Not bad, Conference League final, Europa 1/4 final. Big negative, his team lost to Celtic in a CL group game albeit they had nothing to play for.

Think that's going to be an issue regardless.
