“There are several reasons. One of them is global. At some stage, I realized: despite the abundance of talented football players and promising youth in the Netherlands, local fans, specialists and even players are used to specific football and a specific style, ”the Sport Express coach quotes.

According to him, the Dutch are not very prepared for the fact that some coach can work on a different principle. According to him, people with a different football philosophy are not really needed in the Netherlands.

“Of course, the latest results played a role. Although in general I consider the period of work at Vitesse successful. Even at the moment of leaving the points and the current result, we performed absolutely like last season, and before me Vitesse had worse performances, ”added Slutsky.

Slutsky signed a five-year contract with Rubin. In recent years, he worked abroad, leading the English Hull City, and then the Dutch Vitess, from which he resigned at the end of November.

Earlier, Slutsky spoke about the possible acquisitions of Rubin through the winter transfer window.
