Coach’s assistant in tough time at Feyenoord sees parallels with issues his former boss needs to deal with at AnfieldJust over five weeks after Arne Slot’s Feyenoord had <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/may/25/roma-feyenoord-europa-conference-league-final-match-report">lost a tight Conference League final</a> by a goal to Roma in 2022, they suffered a 7-0 home defeat by Copenhagen in their first pre-season friendly. Some of the Dutch club’s internationals were on holiday, seven of their starters from the final would leave that summer and Copenhagen were well ahead in preparations, but even so, the scoreline was bruising. It felt as if Slot had to start all over again.“I can remember it like yesterday,” says Marino Pusic, Slot’s assistant at Feyenoord and earlier at AZ. “The score could have been even higher – that says enough.” Copenhagen’s then coach, Jess Thorup, described it as more akin to “a training session than an actual friendly match”. Two weeks later a stronger Feyenoord side lost 4-0 to the Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise. Then came home defeats by Lyon and Osasuna. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/nov/21/arne-slot-rebuild-slump-feyenoord-can-help-return-liverpool-winning-ways">Continue reading...</a>
