Slot played as midfielder for PEC Zwolle, NAC Breda and Sparta Rotterdam, and begun his coaching career in 2013, working as a youth coach at PEC Zwolle for a year, before being appointed as an assistant coach at Cambuur, a position he held until 2017. He was then hired by AZ as an assistant to John van den Brom, before being promoted to head coach in 2019. On December 5th 2020 he was sacked as head coach of AZ for not being focused on AZ, despite earning 2.11 points per game in the Eredivisie, the highest of any AZ-manager in history. [2]
