"I've crossed paths with him twice, even sharing a holiday together," Slot spilled to Sky Sports. "Van Nistelrooy is a true gent, incredibly humble. He's got a fantastic career as a player under his belt and made a solid start as a manager."
"He kicked off at PSV and won the TOTO KNVB Cup in his inaugural season. The following year, he finished second. He even stepped up as interim at Manchester United and did a commendable job," he continued.
"He joined Leicester when they were in a tough spot, unfortunately, and couldn't quite turn the tide. But one thing's for certain, he's raring to take us on," Slot concluded.
