Van Persie convinced Slot can handle Liverpool job

Robin van Persie is convinced Arne Slot can be a success with Liverpool.

Having just been named coach of Heerenveen, Van Persie worked with Slot at Feyenoord.

The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker told ESPN: "I think [he'll do] very well, very well.

"How he wants to play is in line with [Jurgen] Klopp's style of play and what they are used to there. I expect them to do very well. Liverpool is one of the nicer clubs in England. I have been able to play for two other very nice clubs.

"Slot has already been able to practice well at Feyenoord in that rhythm, but there [England] it goes very hard and fast for 11 to 11.5 months a year. It is a very nice, new opportunity for him. I believe it will go very well."
