Frank de Boer is the permanent successor of Ronald Koeman as head coach of the Dutch national team, The Telegraph late Tuesday night. It is in line with expectations that De Boer will put together a new technical staff, although this is not yet certain. Valentijn Driessen, chief football of the morning newspaper, thinks he knows that record international Wesley Sneijder and top scorer of all time Robin van Persie are candidates for the position of assistant national coach.

“Initially it was said that he (De Boer, ed.) Should continue with the staff that is already there,” said Driessen in a video item on Wednesday. The Telegraph. “So with Dwight Lodeweges, Patrick Lodewijks and Maarten Stekelenburg. But De Boer has now been told in conversations that things are possible with regard to assistants and that the KNVB is happy to help him. That is also in the interests of the KNVB, because The moment you have a national coach who is standing with both hands behind his back, you will not get anywhere. It is therefore possible to bring in an assistant. “

Driessen immediately scrutinizes the candidate list. “Robin van Persie’s name was circulated and so did Wesley Sneijder. No decision has been made on that yet. It is also not known whether there will be a new assistant when the Orange squad will play against Mexico, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Italy soon. so there is room to bring your own assistant. ” Driessen does not know who currently has the best credentials to assist De Boer at Orange. “I have no idea yet. With Van Persie you have a right Feyenoord corner and that is a starting trainer.”

“But with the upcoming European Championship Ruud van Nistelrooij comes into the picture and when he says: ‘From now on I want to participate in that process’, there is of course nothing against allowing Van Nistelrooij to participate. Sneijder could also be. He was a warm advocate of De Boer. So I think you should take your time and see what this group of players and De Boer need. He is accused of not being so communicative. is good and a little less empathic. He is a bit further away from the players. So someone has to step in to fill that gap. “
