Slot's success has opened up new possibilities for Dutch coaches in the Premier League, according to Gullit. In an interview at the 2025 Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid, Gullit highlighted Slot's ability to bring out the best in his players, particularly Gravenberch and Van Dijk.

Gullit praised Slot for getting Gravenberch to play to his potential, after the player had struggled under former manager Jurgen Klopp. He also noted that Slot helped Van Dijk regain his form after an injury, which had sparked concerns about the player's future.

Despite initial doubts about the team's prospects after Klopp's departure, Liverpool has seen a resurgence in form, with key players like Salah and Van Dijk securing new deals. Gullit believes the team looks stronger than ever as the season draws to a close.

Gullit contrasted Slot's approach with Klopp's more aggressive style, saying that Slot's more measured approach has allowed Liverpool to thrive. He praised Slot's technical abilities and his ability to get the best out of his players.

Gullit sees Slot's success as a breakthrough for Dutch coaches in the Premier League, highlighting the potential for other talented Dutch managers to follow in his footsteps.
