Ronald Koeman is confirmed as the new manager of the Netherlands national team.

Ronald Koeman has been confirmed as the new manager of the Netherlands national team.

The former Everton boss, who was sacked by the Toffees in October, takes over from Dick Advocaat in his new role on a four-and-a-half-year contract.

The deal will see Koeman negotiate the Netherlands' Euro 2020 qualification campaign, after the side failed to make the World Cup finals in Russia this summer.

The Dutchman's first task, however, will be steering his team through friendlies with England and Portugal in March.

Koeman, who has also managed Southampton in the Premier League, spent time with Ajax, Benfica and Valencia before moving to England.
