Veteran Dutch coach Louis van Gaal has been named new coach of the national soccer team of the Netherlands on Wednesday.
Van Gaal succeeds Frank de Boer, who quit after the disappointing exit in the last 16 of Euro 2020. The 69-year-old Van Gaal signed a contract until the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Former Dutch internationals Danny Blind and current Sparta Rotterdam coach Henk Fraser accompany him as assistants, while Frans Hoek returns as keeper trainer.
