Former Ajax manager Aad de Mos has praised Arne Slot for what he describes as a 'wise decision' to pledge his loyalty to Feyenoord amid links with Leeds United. Slot was previously the bookmakers' favourite to replace Jesse Marsch at Elland Road, before he publicly announced his desire to stay in his native Netherlands.
The Dutchman has propelled Feyenoord to the Eredivisie summit after defeating fellow title contenders AZ Alkmaar 2-1 on Saturday. Feyenoord are also in contention for a potential treble having reaching the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League and the KNVB Cup quarter-final.
Leeds, meanwhile, are still yet to appoint Marsch's successor, after also receiving knockbacks in their attempts to tempt Carlos Corberan, Andoni Iraola, and Philippe Clement. Alfred Schreuder was linked with the managerial post at Leeds, but the board decided to pursue other options despite the ex-Ajax boss travelling to the UK for discussions.
