Van Basten’s Dutch Future Decided Today?
Netherlands coach Marco Van Basten’s managerial future will be made a bit clearer today with the former AC Milan player set for showdown talks with the KNVB (Dutch Football Association) this afternoon. According to Van Basten, he has already made up his mind about his future but will wait until talks conclude with the KNVB before going public with his decision.
Van Basten guided the Netherlands through their qualifying campaign only to land in the “group of death” alongside Italy, France and Romania. The Dutch FA have already hinted that regardless of what happens at Euro 2008 they want Van Basten as the man to lead the national side to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Whatever happens, he’s still under contract and will be around to see the Netherlands through their Euro 2008 campaign, though we’ll know more clearly this evening whether Van Basten is in it for the long haul or changing jobs in July.
