▲ Ronald Koeman took over as official Dutch national team coach
▲ Return to Orange Corps after 2 years and 6 months as coach Van
Gaal
The Dutch Football Association announced an official contract with coach Kooman on the 24th (Korean time). Initially, Koeman was appointed as the successor to coach Louis van Gaal, who was supposed to hold the helm until the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Returning to the national team, Kuman said at an official press conference, “It’s an honor. I’m happy to be back. I’ve had another chance. So it’s a little special. I’ve had a lot of fun with the national team for two years.”
This is not the first time Koeman has been appointed to the Dutch national team. In February 2018, Koeman took over the Dutch national team’s helm.
The results weren’t bad. He recorded 11 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in 20 matches. Despite losing to Portugal, they finished runners-up in the UEFA Nations League. It brought a new wind to the national team, which was in a mess after being eliminated from the World Cup finals in Russia. And during this period, Kumanho showed the potential to win against Germany, England and France.
바카라 In the summer of 2020, a variable has been created. I was in the middle of preparing for Euro 2020, but my home team Barcelona sent a love call.
Koeman left the Netherlands and took charge of Barcelona from the 2020/21 season to the beginning of the 2021/22 season.
The result was hard during the season. He managed 67 matches, recording 40 wins, 11 draws and 16 losses. His figures weren’t bad. He didn’t have the championship trophy he expected. He won the Copa del Rey in the 2020/21 season, but was eliminated in the round of 16 by PSG in the UEFA Champions League. The La Liga final report card was also third.
The following season was still a question mark. In particular, in the UEFA Champions League group stage, they lost 0-3 to Bayern and Barcelona in succession, putting them in a crisis of hardship. To make matters worse, following the El Clasico derby defeat against Real Madrid, Barcelona also took a knee in the Vallecano expedition and called in the legend Xavi instead of Kuman.
Meanwhile, the Dutch national team, which sent Kooman in the summer of 2020, passed the temporary command tower system and left the baton to Frank de Bur. He recorded 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in 15 matches, but he broke up with the national team after being eliminated in the quarterfinals of Euro 2020.
Afterwards, Van Gaal made a surprise return, and led the Orange Corps until the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Although not flashy, coach van Gaal led the Netherlands to the quarterfinals of the tournament by maintaining his original color well. Although they fell in the quarterfinals, their opponent was Argentina, the champion team. After a bloody battle of 120 minutes, the Netherlands was caught by Argentina in a penalty shoot-out. In the place where Van Hal stepped down, Kuman takes over the baton.
