Leaving the team for a 'better' job

On the first Tuesday in September Netherlands is playing its first away qualifying match against Sweden in Solna, Stockholm as the two teams open their account towards the World Cup finals, 2018 in Russia. And exactly one week before the encounter the 'Oranje' is loosing a prominent name from the bench to find a preferable post elsewhere.

Second assistant coach, and well known name in world football, Marco van Basten will quit his position with Netherlands because he was offered a job at FIFA on a football development and reform. However, he will remain to assist main trainer Danny Blind until the end of the year.

Will Dutch officials are going to regret letting van Basten to go, we will find the answer on 06 September.
