Fans weigh options as KNVB hunts Koeman’s successor for Euro 2028
The World Cup has ended for the Netherlands and Ronald Koeman announced his resignation, leaving the KNVB to search for a new head coach to guide Oranje to Euro 2028. A poll now asks supporters which of the candidates – from Arne Slot and Peter Bosz to Sarina Wiegman, Pep Guardiola or Jürgen Klopp – they consider the ideal successor.
The poll invites Dutch supporters to vote for their preferred candidate in the comments section. It frames the search as a national conversation about the future of the Oranje side.
Peter Bosz has repeatedly spoken openly about the national team job. Nevertheless, he signed a new contract with PSV this year, raising questions about his availability.
Among the high‑profile names without a current club or country are Pep Guardiola, who has expressed fascination with the Dutch school of football. Former Liverpool coaches Jürgen Klopp and Arne Slot are also mentioned as possible options for the KNVB.
Sarina Wiegman, the successful women's national team manager, is listed as another potential candidate. Her inclusion highlights the breadth of possibilities the federation is considering.
Oranje is currently undertaking its final training session with the full squad ahead of the upcoming duel with Morocco. The preparation underscores the immediate focus on the next competitive match while the coaching search continues.
