Ex-Liverpool star says Arne Slot's training sessions are on par with that of Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp

Former Liverpool star Gini Wijnaldum has lavished praise on new Reds boss Arne Slot, likening his training methods comparable to those used by Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho. The former Feyenoord boss was recently appointed manager at Anfield and will have to fill the massive bolts left behind by Klopp.

Anfield Icon Wijnaldum, however, believes that the club are in good hands and tips his compatriot to carry on the good work done by the legendary German manager. The midfielder played over 200 games for Klopp, winning the Premier League, Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup with him.

Speaking in an interview with Dutch outlet ADnl, the Al-Ettifaq midfielder tried to calm any nerves about the new manager in Liverpool, saying:

“At the beginning of this season I trained for a few days at Feyenoord and there I saw how Slot worked. That was of a very high level, I thought it was really great. I can compare it with Klopp and Mourinho and then I say that Slot is at the same level.”

Wijnaldum, the 33-year-old midfielder, has been included in the Dutch team heading to Euro 2024. He will hope to win the tournament and bring the trophy back to his nation for the first time since 1988.

Arne Slot, on the other hand, will hope he can deliver on the glowing review from the Liverpool Icon ahead of what could be a tough debut season in the Premier League.
