The otherwise sober Dutchman, bordering on a bit boring, had an unpleasant encounter with the Merseyside derby in mid-February with the ring fox David Moyes on Everton watch. A furious outburst against the referee gave Slot a red card, now the case has been dealt with by the English Football Association (FA).

The penalty for referee Michael Oliver’s red card for the Liverpool manager costs Slot matches in the stands plus a fine. Slot has accepted the penalty.

This means that Slot will be in the stands on Wednesday against Newcastle, the same against Southampton on Women’s Day itself.

Then we get to test the extent to which Liverpool players need Slot’s direct coaching on match day to win matches.
