The KNVB reportedly wants a new head coach in place for the international matches next month and has failed with a move for Frank Rijkaard.
According to De Telegraaf, Frank de Boer has now come into view at the KNVB, and talks are planned with the former Ajax, Inter Milan, Crystal Palace, and Atlanta United boss.
The KNVB wants to accelerate their search and De Boer could quickly be appointed if the talks are successful.
De Boer has previously been assistant to Bert van Marwijk with the national team, but could now get the chance to coach Oranje himself. At the weekend, De Boer was asked about the position by FOX Sports, and responded, “I think it is a great honour if you can be the national coach of this country. Besides prime minister, it is perhaps the most important job in the Netherlands.”

NOOOooooo. Not De Boer.
Great appointment. Yes, he has had past failures but they were all in club management. International management is an entirely different setup and De Boer should be given a chance for a role he will be incredibly passionate about.
de boer is not a good option he failed in all the teams he coached before he only succeeded with ajax and only domestically in eurpoe ajax used to lose with margins with him
in my opinion peter bosz must be no 1 candidate for the knvb van gal is an option but van gal will not stay for a long time we must look for a future manager not only to lead the team in the next Euros
