The Dutch Football Association announced that Ronald Koeman, who will succeed Louis van Gaal in the training of the national team “The Mills” following the Qatar World Cup 2022, has chosen his brother Erwin as his assistant.
Erwin Koeman, 60, was a former assistant to his brother at English clubs Everton and Southampton.
“Irwin’s three and a half years in England have taught me that he has a good vision of things and that we work in an integrated way,” Koeman said, according to the statement. Erwin Koeman played 31 international matches for the Netherlands as a midfielder, and participated in the squad that won the European Nations in 1988, and also played in the 1990 World Cup.
