Dutch trainers give clear opinion on Xavi as Netherlands coach
Theo Janssen and Danny Blind are not in favor of the appointment of Xavi Hernández as coach of the Netherlands national team. They think a Dutch trainer would be better. Blind thinks that the KNVB missed a chance with Peter Bosz.
Why do they think a Dutch trainer would be better?
According to Janssen, the Netherlands has enough suitable trainers. "We are known for our football, we are known for producing good trainers. I think we have a lot of trainers with a lot of experience. So there are enough who can take on that role." Even for a foreign coach of the absolute top level, he does not want to make an exception. Janssen thinks that the new coach should be able to make tough decisions.
What happens now?
The KNVB has appointed Xavi as coach of the Netherlands national team. This is despite the opinion of Janssen and Blind. The KNVB has missed a chance with Peter Bosz and has now appointed Xavi. This is an important decision for the Netherlands national team.
Next step
The KNVB must now make a plan to make the Netherlands national team successful. This can be done by appointing a Dutch trainer or by appointing a foreign trainer. The KNVB must now make a decision about the future of the Netherlands national team.
