Xavi appointed Netherlands head coach
- On Wednesday, the Dutch Football Association appointed Xavi Hernandez as the new head coach of the Netherlands national team, signing a contract through the 2030 World Cup.
- Xavi replaces Ronald Koeman, who stepped down following the Netherlands' exit at this summer's World Cup after the team's last-32 defeat by Morocco.
- "I consider it a tremendous honour to become head coach of the Dutch national team," Xavi said, citing his development under legendary figures like Johan Cruyff and Rinus Michels.
- KNVB director of football Nigel de Jong said Xavi is the "right choice for the coming years" due to his tactical vision; Patrick Kluivert will serve as assistant coach.
- The new manager makes his debut on September 24 in the Nations League against Germany, though candidates like Arne Slot were also considered before the federation secured the Spaniard.
