Netherlands assistant manager, Danny Blind has been appointed head coach of the dutch national team.
The 53-year old takes over from Guus Hiddink, who resigned his appointment on Monday after just 10 months in charge.
Blind won 42 caps during a 20-year playing career with Ajax and Sparta Rotterdam, and also managed Ajax.
Hiddink, 68, lost five and won four of his 10 matches during his second spell in charge, with the Dutch third in their Euro 2016 qualifying group.
He apologised for leaving the national side five points behind leaders Iceland and three adrift of the Czech Republic in Group A.
