Netherlands, Xavi is the new head coach

Xavi Hernández will be the new head coach of the Netherlands. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the former Barcelona manager has accepted the Dutch federation's proposal and the agreement is now complete: the signing arrived today to make it official.

Following his spell in the Barcelona dugout, Xavi is preparing for a new challenge, this time with a national team. The Spanish coach has chosen to take on the Netherlands project, opening a new chapter in his career.

In the last few hours, the parties reached an agreement and signed the documents today. A done deal, then: Xavi is ready to become the new head coach of the Dutch national team.

For the former Barcelona midfielder, this marks a major turning point. After gaining top-level experience in the Blaugrana dugout, Xavi is now preparing to work with a group of players from Europe’s biggest clubs as he tries to take the Netherlands back to the top of international football.

The federation is expected to confirm the appointment in its next communication, but the agreement is already in place and the contract has been signed: Xavi and the Netherlands are ready to begin a new adventure. After the World Cup, Ronald Koeman’s spell with the Netherlands came to an end.
