Youri Mulder thinks that Frank de Boer would have done better on Saturday evening to visit the AZ match against Fortuna Sittard (3-3) instead of the match between Ajax and Vitesse (2-1). The new national coach was present in the Johan Cruijff ArenA, while according to Mulder more internationals could be seen in Sittard. The former football player will join Sunday evening Rondo in addition, Ibrahim Afellay emerged as a potential assistant head coach.

According to presenter Jack van Gelder, De Boer can add his own assistant to the technical staff of Orange. “The name of Wesley Sneijder is in any case,” said Van Gelder. Jan van Halst suggests that the new assistant should add a dose of ‘humor’ to the technical staff. “No, I’d rather have Najib Amhali”, Van Gelder responds jokingly. Marco van Basten mentions Ruud van Nistelrooij as a candidate. “That has more or less been decided, hasn’t it?” The former striker wonders. “They will talk about that,” says Van Gelder.

Frank de Boer was present at Ajax – Vitesse on Saturday evening.

“Last week Frank de Boer spoke with Dwight Lodeweges and Maarten Stekelenburg to view certain things together,” the presenter continues. “They will be working together for ten days and playing three matches. I assume that Frank de Boer will also talk to Ruud van Nistelrooij. But Sneijder’s name keeps coming up and I think he is absolutely a fantastic boy when he is fully prepared, sharp and good. Then I guess you couldn’t have a better one. Then he is a wonderful boy who can provide a nice tone. I just wonder if he’s consistent enough. Of course he hasn’t really lived in recent years, which makes you think: awesome. ”

“Other names you can think of are Robin van Persie, Andre Ooijer and Mark van Bommel”, says Van Gelder, to which Mulder picks up: “Afellay also seems like a good one. If he stops playing, why not? ” By the way, yesterday I was watching the Ajax match and then I saw Frank de Boer there in the stands. Then I thought: how good, he immediately picks up his job well. But AZ also played, right? They have more internationals in the selection. That Ajax label always depends a bit on it. To counter that a bit, I might have driven to Sittard before to see AZ. Five internationals play there. At Ajax two or three. ”
