The KNVB (Dutch football federation) has been debating for weeks about who should be the new national coach, since Ronald Koeman He resigned from the position after a World Cup in which the Oranje did not offer the expected results. There has been a lot of talk about Michael Reiziger and also about the Van Gaal option, which would have been offered recently.

Although Reiziger was until very recently the one who seemed to have the upper hand, things have changed in the last few hours and the country’s press has mentioned the name of another candidate: Roberto Martínez. According to ‘De Telegraaf’, the Catalan, former coach of Belgium and Portugal, would be the best positioned today. They say, in fact, that he would already be negotiating with the KNVB.

Apparently, Bobb Martínez, 56, spoke with the director of football of the Dutch football federation, Niels de Jong, in Malaga. The one from Balaguer maintains a close relationship with Jordi Cruyff and – today general secretary at Ajax – and is also a supporter of the football philosophy of his father, Johan. The next few days will be crucial.
