Koeman named manager of the Netherlands

[Spitz]

Wow, despite failing at Everton he still got (what I presume to be) his dream job....

[Badger]

I think Barcelona is probably his dream job.

[DT]

watch him try and select Cuco Martinez...

[Sheaf Saint]

So, how many ex-Saints managers is that now who have managed a national side (either before or after managing Saints)?

 

Off the top of my head I can think of.... Laurie Mac (Northern Ireland), Burley (Scotland), Hoddle (England), Redknapp (Jordan), Strachan (Scotland), Koeman (Netherlands)

 

Any others?

Mark Wotte was Netherlands U21 coach in the early 00s. And is 'performance director' at Morocco and did the same role at Scotland.

Wasn't Lawrie also assistant for England ?

[niceandfriendly]

It's about time. De Oranje have needed him for a long time, they're a perfect fit. Still miss him as Saints boss to be honest.

 

Looking forward to seeing his teams play at the Arena, the last few morons in charge have been absolutely woeful! Op de Oranje!

[Dark Munster]

Good luck to him.

[John Boy Saint]

Blimey the KNVB must have gone into super grovel mode after the stink between them and Ronald, when Koeman was ignored when Van Gaal stepped down.

I’d imagine it’s the combination of a cushy part-time job subsidised by Everton to his Everton rate that swung it.

[Dusic]

Good job for him, I think he will do well. Good man manager and clever tactically.

 

Jordy Clasie will be happy.

He’ll do well as long as his tactically astute brother is with him [emoji6]

[Fan The Flames]

As long as he doesn't have white decorations on his Christmas tree, or will the Dutch fans not give a **** unlike the whinging *****s from Everton.

[Miltonaggro]

Good luck Ron, best man for the job!

[baggytrousers]

Perfect job for him - lots of time for golf

[Pass the Dutchie]

He won't be though.

[Toadhall Saint]

He won't be though.

 

Wot no Erwin- what will Ronald do?

[doddisalegend]

He won't be though.

 

so Erwin is Jobless and available....could he be worse than MoPe?
