JAKARTA - Former Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman has a great opportunity to return to the position of coach of the Dutch national team after the Qatar 2022 World Cup. That possibility is even more open because Koeman is also still unemployed after ending his collaboration with the Blaugrana in 2021.

The former Everton tactician is willing to leave his role as coach of the Dutch national team for his dream of leading Barcelona in August 2022.

Quoted from Football Espana, Thursday, despite having said goodbye, the relationship between the Dutch Football Association and Koeman is still going well.

The 59-year-old coach could also replace Louis van Gaal after the 2022 World Cup. Van Gaal has led the Netherlands to the World Cup in Qatar. But his contract will most likely not be renewed after the World Cup.

In that situation, Koeman has a great chance to be the first choice to replace van Gaal in leading the Oranje troops.

Previously, Koeman was appointed by the Netherlands as coach in February 2018, with a four-and-a-half-year contract or should be until the 2022 World Cup. At that time he replaced Dick Advocaat who resigned after failing to bring the Netherlands to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

Koeman managed to bring the Netherlands to qualify for the finals of the prestigious tournament, Euro 2020, after being absent since the 2014 World Cup.
