“Unruly and entitled” – Journalist criticizes Arne Slot, claiming Liverpool manager’s true colors were revealed.

Arne Slot Branded ‘Unruly Spoiled Brat’ After Fiery Everton Clash

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has come under fire for his reaction to the 2-2 draw against Everton, with journalist Leon ten Voorde accusing him of behaving like an “unruly spoiled brat.”

In his column for Algemeen Dagblad, Ten Voorde suggests that Slot’s composed public image may have cracked during the heated moments at Goodison Park.

Slot now faces a potential touchline ban after being shown a red card by referee Michael Oliver following the game. The Dutchman was visibly furious after James Tarkowski’s late equalizer salvaged a point for Everton and continued to express his frustration towards the officials after the final whistle.

A seemingly routine handshake with Oliver quickly escalated, leading to Slot’s dismissal. His assistant, Sipke Hulshoff, was also sent off post-match.

This incident was unexpected from Slot, who has largely maintained a calm demeanor throughout a successful season, guiding Liverpool to the top of the Premier League and excelling in the Champions League’s new league-stage format.

However, Ten Voorde believes this moment may have exposed a different side of Slot’s personality.

“Arne Slot is the ideal son-in-law with a fiery temper,” he wrote.

“After nearly a year of walking the perfect line, England finally got to see the other side of Arne Slot—the man from Bergentheim who isn’t always as polished as he seems.

“It was all too good to be true: too smooth, too charming, too calculated. A great coach, yes, but not without flaws.

“And now, after months of praise, comes a moment of disappointment. The ideal son-in-law turns into an unruly spoiled brat, struggling to handle setbacks.

“England has now witnessed what we in the Netherlands have seen before—a side of Slot that doesn’t always sit well with his colleagues. He complains to the fourth official, he postures, he manipulates.

“Of course, with this referee, I might not have made it to the dressing room without a card either. But Slot’s reaction revealed something more—it was as if a hidden camera had peeled away the image of the perfect leader.

“On Wednesday, Slot was himself again—a real, flawed human being. And maybe that’s not such a bad thing.”
