Koeman will return to Netherland bench after Qatar World Cup

The former Netherland coach will return to the team's bench after the Qatar World Cup.

The Royal Dutch Football Association has confirmed that Ronald Koeman will return to the bench after the 2022 World Cup and will replace Louis van Gaal, who recently diagnosed with cancer.

Koeman previously led the

Netherlands

between 2018 and 2020, and after

Barcelona

's offer, he left for Camp Nou. The 59-year-old has coached the Premier League for

Southampton

and

Everton

and has yet to reach an agreement with Barcelona after being sacked in October.

He said: 

“I am looking forward to the new collaboration. A little over a year and a half ago, I certainly did not leave the Dutch national team out of dissatisfaction. 

"My stay felt good, the results were good and the click with the internationals was good. We will soon continue on that path. That is certain for me.”

Marianne van Leeuwen, the KNVB's director of professional football said: 

"We are very happy that Ronald will return next year. During his previous 'term' as national coach, there was great satisfaction with his work and the results. 

"That is why, after internal deliberations, I entered into discussions with Ronald and his agent Rob Jansen, together with director of top football Nico-Jan Hoogma.”
