Slot reveals Netherlands talks, says he withdrew

Arne Slot has confirmed he was involved in talks for the vacant Netherlands head coach position but chose to withdraw himself from the process, stating he prefers to continue working in club football. Slot, who was sacked by Liverpool in May after finishing fifth in the Premier League and winning no trophies, denied reports that his withdrawal was due to disagreements over salary and contract length, clarifying that negotiations never reached that stage. The Netherlands job became vacant following Ronald Koeman's departure after the team's penalty shootout loss to Morocco at the World Cup.
