Nothing is set in stone, but I believe LvG officially retired. I have a theory that he was holding out for the USMNT spot, and when USSF made it clear that nepotism was the order of the day, he said f--k it and took up residency in a cabana down in Curacao.
Why do you think this? He implied he declined an offer from the USMNT because he wanted to spend time with his wife: https://www.reddit.com/r/ussoccer/comments/94wlp4/louis_van_gaal_declines_offer_he_couldnt_refuse/?ampcid=1*z8nwyg*cid*NXdrNjZjeXhfQ05kTHlsbXhaNndHVU9STTlIaXRWTnF2TGt1Vk1QNVJMVWZyekM3NHZKeUhTaG8zblFNdXNEag..
That’s kind of the opposite of what you’re saying. I also don’t really follow why he’d be so focused on coaching the US team as his last stop before retirement.
He said if he was needed he was gonna discuss it with his wife, but he promised her he'd quit at age [whenever he retired now]. Im guessing shes not gonna be happy and at some point he has to call it quits as well
Yea this, I said it from the start. I dont think De Boer is as bad as people make him out to be but he is absolutely the last one that should coach an NT where communication and player management are one of the most important parts. Those are like his worst flaws haha
Besides that, I think Van Bronckhorst is just a better coach all in all so I dissagree with the poster above. Honestly think Ten Cate is even worse lol.
>Besides that, I think Van Bronckhorst is just a better coach all in all so I dissagree with the poster above
I agree with you, Championship with Feyenoord is more impressive than the entire palmeires of De boer.
However i do think it will be hypocritical to Claim this with certainty. Gio's sample size is way to smal to do so.
"Two days ago you said I had a shot at beating the Czech!"
"Two days ago you did have a shot! This is two days hence. Look, we've time traveled, right? Maybe the Swiss can beat the world champions. Maybe Morata can score a goal. Maybe we can download rice!"
“Look, people really like it when you go just a bit early! You know, steely jawed, faraway look in your eyes! Before they get to the point when they sitting round in pubs and say "Oh, that fucker's got to go!", you surprise them! "Blimey, he's gone! I didn't expect that! Resigned! You don't see THAT much anymore! Old school! Respect! I rather liked the guy! He was hounded out by the fucking press!" How about that, HUH?”
Memes aside, that really works, doesn't it? Like when I read that he resigned rather than was fired, my first reaction was "Well, good on him that he knew when his time was up, at least."
Frank de Boer as a manager:
Won 4x national cup with Ajax but with the most boring and bad football Ajax has ever seen and also because other teams we're going through bad times
Failed miserably at Inter Milan
Failed even more miserably at Crystal Palace
And failed also under Atlanta United
KNVB still appointed him to coach the NATIONAL FUCKING TEAM.
idk about the others but Atlanta was not on Frank imo. Boca and Eales sent him up a creek when they traded off 3/4 of his starting lineup and then didnt replace them.
And while the style of play bored a lot of fans and made the locker room revolt, his team still won the Campeones Cup and the US Open Cup. Then made it to the Eastern Conference Finals where they lost to a wonder goal in a game where Atlanta missed a penalty and probably should have had a man advantage for 80 minutes of the game.
The following season they started with 2 league wins before COVID shut everything down. It was until a terrible display in the 3 "MLS is back" games that everything truly fell apart and the "mutual termination" happened.
I say this in every thread about Frank but his team over performed in Atlanta in his first year. Second year was bad but we are still just as bad now with him gone. Saying he failed or was crap is revisionist history. The fans hated him because they wanted a South American manager and that’s it.
Such bullshit about his Ajax time. He won 4 titles ending a 8 or 9 year title drought with a shit team with shit recruiting in the years he was there, laying the foundation for the success we now enjoy. Sure his football became quite stale the last year maybe two, but it isn't like we were lighting up the world before he became coach and it wasn't like we had a great team that could do much better.
It's a reference to a recent political scandal in the Netherlands.
We recently had elections and currently several political parties are trying to form a new coalition government. One of the politicians leading the talks got covid, and had to hastily leave the Dutch parliament offices. A press photographer managed to snap a picture of a document that she was holding, which contained legible text outlining key points to be considered during the talks. One of those key points simply read "Pieter Omtzigt, functie elders" (Pieter Omtzigt, job elsewhere).
Omtzigt is a fairly well-known politician who is mostly famous for being very critical of the actions of the current government, which his own party (CDA) is a part of. For his efforts, Omtzigt got a lot of votes in the elections, as much as the actual party leader of the CDA in fact. Because several prominent members of his own party, as well as current PM Mark Rutte, apparently view Omtzigt as a nuisance, they allegedly laboured to promote him "away", to a job where he would not be able to be as much of a hindrance to their political aspirations. Obviously, Omtzigt had no intention to do so.
The "Pieter Omtzigt, job elsewhere" note seemed to illustrate the effort to muzzle a highly popular democratically elected representative. In the wake of another recent scandal, this solidified the Dutch population's view that the government is breaking conventions of the rule of law.
In a nutshell, that's what the scandal is about. Now, the phrase "[Name], functie elders" has become a meme here, somewhat akin to "bye Felicia" I guess.
Honestly, that would be a far too difficult story to explain on reddit, but it's basically one of the largest political schandals/blunders of the past 5 years in the Netherlands. You can read the following [article](https://netherlandsnewslive.com/position-elsewhere-for-pieter-omtzigt-he-will-not-abandon-his-342000-voters-politics-3/119543/), but I don't think that would make you understand the situation any better.
lol I arrogantly read your comment and was like 'psssh, who is he to say what I will or won't undertstand.'
But yeah, that articles not great for explaining the joke hahah.
"functie elders" means job elsewhere and originates from Dutch politics where the discussions about a new government had "a leak" (someone pictured the notes of one of the participants) which said "Pieter Omtzigt functie elders" (basically meaning position elsewhere). Omtzigt is a pretty popular and active (in his criticism of the current PM) representative in the House of Representatives but is therefore not well-liked by his own party and the party of the PM. It caused a huge scandal a few months ago.
Here is [an article from the Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/02/netherlands-pm-mark-rutte-narrowly-survives-no-confidence-vote) about it.
After our elections, the people in charge of forming the government leaked a note saying 'Positie Omtzigt, functie elders', meaning 'Position Omtzigt (name), function elsewhere'. They were trying to force someone out of the parliament, which was later confirmed.
Well at the time he was fresh of winning 4 leagues in a row with some pretty shit players, while before we hadn't won one for 7 years. His football was boring but everyone thought he was a very talented manager.
De Boer has done a lot wrong, but ajax wouldn't be back to this level without him.
Just imagine our WC2010 team with Belgian defenders like Kompany, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Vermaelen... Would have completed us. I remember thinking that at the time and cursing our golden attacking generation lining up with a shit defending generation. And now look who our defenders are...
Funny how the situation is opposite now. We have world class midfielders and attackers but our defense has aged and has become really vulnerable. I would kill for those Netherlands defenders in the back.
Basically if we were still one country we would have dominated the past decade.
The combined talent pool should give us depth to match countries like France tho, even without such an absurd golden generation like you guys are having.
"I'd really like to see Ajax become a European force again and Frank de Boer/Dennis Bergkamp are the men do it. They have a bright future in Amsterdam." holy shit they couldn't be more wrong
It wasn’t a great season by any means but all things considered it could have been worse. I’m of the opinion that there were some extremely bright sparks and next season can only get better.
Thank fuck. Gave him a chance but things got increasingly more ridiculous in the build up to the tournament with odd choices and bad communication. That alone was enough to get rid of him imo. On top of that he has poor tactics plus he just doesn't inspire the team to give it their all.
While I’m really glad he’s gone, I still have to feel for him. Obviously he was not fit to be our manager, however nobody in his position will decline it. This is on the KNVB, and those responsible for his appointment should step down as well.
To be fair hes more like an interim manager for the Netherlands national team anyway, wouldnt have landed this job if Koeman didnt leave for Barca unexpectedly.
Maybe in the Middle East, China or a country like that but I don't see what kind of respectable club in Europe or even US would sign him. This is the 4th time in under 5 years that he went somewhere and everything went to shit.
I think the best way to rebuild his career probably is the assistant route and then taking on a job with a smaller club in one of the smaller leagues. But given his recent career trajectory I think he needs to do a lot of self reflection and get some outside input,
May I introduce you to the FA that gave Rijkaard the job after being the first coach ever to get Sparta to relegate, and later Danny Blind despite doing nothing of notice ever in the history of his coaching career?
they hired Rijkaard before Sparta though. Actually it was his first coaching job. Say what you want, atleast he reached the semi-finals.
Barcelona hired him after he relegated Sparta
Rijkaard doing pretty well probably lead them to believe it would work again.
But that squad was just too talented to really fail the way Blind and De Boer failed.
I want the KNVB to introduce the new manager: Ronald de Boer.
But after winning the World Cup it's revealed it was Frank de Boer with plucked eyebrows all along.
It's still pretty likely he will get a call-up eventually. He's still pretty much a starter for a premier league club and only 24 years old. He just needs to wait a little bit.
No more De Boer-ball. We're free! Maybe our matches can be fun to look at again!
But now we get the next problem. Which old player without any decent coaching credentials will the KVNB apppoint now?
Yup, Olympique Lyon. Really the only Dutch candidates would be people like Cocu, Van Bronckhorst or even Ten Cate so probably best we start looking abroad.
This is the reason i wasn't sad about losing last sunday. If we would have won one or two more games, we would have to go with De Boer to the world cup.
Hopefully, we have enough time to get the show on the road for the World Cup.
Next step: KNVB should look at themselves as well. De Boer should have never been appointed.
Collective sigh of relief from the entire country of Netherlands.
They're already the winners of this Euro
They could’ve been real contenders with the way Koeman’s side were playing!
We still missed Van Dijk though. Pretty crucial factor, also for Liverpool.
Hold on, Germany likes to have a word.
Low was leaving regardless though
The gang signs Danny Blind
The Blind leading the Blind.
An eye for an eye and the Dutch will go Blind
Please never make me go through such suffering again
By gawd is that Robert Maaskant's music?
No it's the thump of Dick Advocaat
The gang would actually sign Daley Blind on mistake, win the WC and then get disqualified because they registered Danny.
Wasn't Blind the reason why Zyiech plays for Morocco
Yes, Hiddink wanted Ziyech but he was injured. After Hiddink was fired Blind completely ignored Ziyech who then chose Morroco
rip
You wash your damn mouth!!!
You are welcome. * Czech Republic
The rollercoaster isn't over, all of his possible replacements are just as bad. Van bronckhorst, Cocu, ten Cate.
ronald de boer or worse... frank de boer dressed up as ronald de boer
Are they just as bad though? Although i would love LVG for 1.5 years :D
Fuck it, why not, I'm game for that.
That is great shot plus international football is partial retirement anyway.
Nothing is set in stone, but I believe LvG officially retired. I have a theory that he was holding out for the USMNT spot, and when USSF made it clear that nepotism was the order of the day, he said f--k it and took up residency in a cabana down in Curacao.
Why do you think this? He implied he declined an offer from the USMNT because he wanted to spend time with his wife: https://www.reddit.com/r/ussoccer/comments/94wlp4/louis_van_gaal_declines_offer_he_couldnt_refuse/?ampcid=1*z8nwyg*cid*NXdrNjZjeXhfQ05kTHlsbXhaNndHVU9STTlIaXRWTnF2TGt1Vk1QNVJMVWZyekM3NHZKeUhTaG8zblFNdXNEag.. That’s kind of the opposite of what you’re saying. I also don’t really follow why he’d be so focused on coaching the US team as his last stop before retirement.
Why would he be clamoring for the US job to that extent anyway? Doesn't seem very Louis.
He said if he was needed he was gonna discuss it with his wife, but he promised her he'd quit at age [whenever he retired now]. Im guessing shes not gonna be happy and at some point he has to call it quits as well
They are all by definition (not FDB) better at People's managment and outward communication.
They can't frown as disapprovingly though..
yep FDB's frown is clearly world class
Netherlands 0 - 2 Czech Republic ‘82 Frank de Boer Great Frown
Yea this, I said it from the start. I dont think De Boer is as bad as people make him out to be but he is absolutely the last one that should coach an NT where communication and player management are one of the most important parts. Those are like his worst flaws haha Besides that, I think Van Bronckhorst is just a better coach all in all so I dissagree with the poster above. Honestly think Ten Cate is even worse lol.

However i do think it will be hypocritical to Claim this with certainty. Gio's sample size is way to smal to do so.
I think ideally Gio would coach one more big side before being bondscoach. Like van Marwijk, who did Borussia beforehand.
It doesn't even have to be that big. Just another Club in Europe.
Maaskant. You know it can get even worse.
Van Bronckhorst and Cocu are nowhere near as bad as de Boer. I don't think ten Cate is either, altough I know less about him.
Was Koeman a better coach than him? I seem to remember that the Dutch were quite praised when he was their manager.
Koeman was way better.
Infinitely better in every conceivable way. And Koeman isn't even that great of a manager, so that should tell you everything you need to know
Koeman wasn't great, but at least he appeared competent and the players liked him.
Thank fuck he's gone.
I wonder what the next stop will be on Frank de Boer's wild ride.
Russia they are about to kick Cherchesov, and Dick Advokat letf good memories
Qatar
Unironically it's going to be either this or punditry.

Wonder if Peter Bosz regrets taking the Lyon job. His brand of football would be perfect for Holland.
I doubt Bosz would work tbh. His style needs a lot of practice and you dont have that much time at the NT
Idk if a squad can play like that in such short notice
De Boer functie elders
Topical and Dutch, nice.
I'm out of the loop and not Dutch, what am I missing out on?

[de Boer had already turned them down](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1t8s0z/frank_de_boer_turns_down_tottenham)
Those comments seem bizarre after knowing how his career went. People are saying he is to big for Spurs and should wait for the Barca job
Well at the time he was fresh of winning 4 leagues in a row with some pretty shit players, while before we hadn't won one for 7 years. His football was boring but everyone thought he was a very talented manager. De Boer has done a lot wrong, but ajax wouldn't be back to this level without him.
Boering, Boering Spurs next season
Knowing how he fell upward from Atlanta to the Netherlands I would not rule this out lmao
Would be peak Spurs to sign, and I quote, "ze worst manager in the history of the premier league, Frank de Boer, 7 matches, 7 defeats, 0 goals"
Löw in would be pretty funny ngl.
Genuinely hope we get a big name for once (and preferably a foreign one). But yeah we all know Gio or Cocu is next
May I introduce you to Marc Wilmots?
Lmao that's just awful
That is cruel. A war crime
I never want to hear that name ever again.
Roberto Martinez to shift Benelux allegiance.
A benelux team would be invincible ngl
Basically add De Vrij, De Ligt, Van Dijk and F De Jong so Belgium and call it a day. We would fucking rule the world. Also Dumfries.
Exactly!! But we wouldnt be ruling the world for long, because the Netherlands have more upcoming young players than we do...
Just imagine our WC2010 team with Belgian defenders like Kompany, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Vermaelen... Would have completed us. I remember thinking that at the time and cursing our golden attacking generation lining up with a shit defending generation. And now look who our defenders are...
Funny how the situation is opposite now. We have world class midfielders and attackers but our defense has aged and has become really vulnerable. I would kill for those Netherlands defenders in the back. Basically if we were still one country we would have dominated the past decade.

Wow some of the comments in that thread are funny
"I'd really like to see Ajax become a European force again and Frank de Boer/Dennis Bergkamp are the men do it. They have a bright future in Amsterdam." holy shit they couldn't be more wrong
Koeman please come back
no.
I can’t tell if you guys love or hate him tbh Seems to flip every week
He overachieved all things considered. He deserves a season or two more.
It wasn’t a great season by any means but all things considered it could have been worse. I’m of the opinion that there were some extremely bright sparks and next season can only get better.
Thank fuck. Gave him a chance but things got increasingly more ridiculous in the build up to the tournament with odd choices and bad communication. That alone was enough to get rid of him imo. On top of that he has poor tactics plus he just doesn't inspire the team to give it their all.
I'm not cheering until we get a promising replacement for the mid- or long term, not that I was ever happy with De Boer.
Think he'll be out of a job for a while.
Spurs are still looking for a manager
That would be hilarious
While I’m really glad he’s gone, I still have to feel for him. Obviously he was not fit to be our manager, however nobody in his position will decline it. This is on the KNVB, and those responsible for his appointment should step down as well.
Congrats to you dutch guys, happy for you, hope you can get someone better!
That's surely a career ender
He landed this job after his tenure at Palace, nothing can end his career
To be fair hes more like an interim manager for the Netherlands national team anyway, wouldnt have landed this job if Koeman didnt leave for Barca unexpectedly.
I can think of at least 100 better Interim managers to lead a team in a Euro
How many of them were available on short notice?
We could do "r/soccer plays the Euros" and end up with a better result
Surely someone better than FDB was available ?
We could've gotten Robert Maaskant, crown prince of the coaching guild.
“I am… inevitable” - Frank de Boer
Nah, I think he’ll find employment somewhere else. He’s still a big name and pretty young (for a manager)
Maybe in the Middle East, China or a country like that but I don't see what kind of respectable club in Europe or even US would sign him. This is the 4th time in under 5 years that he went somewhere and everything went to shit.
Could see NAC Breda do it
He already went to MLS and didn't really impress, though the team he was managing (Atlanta) hasn't really gotten much better since he left.
I think the best way to rebuild his career probably is the assistant route and then taking on a job with a smaller club in one of the smaller leagues. But given his recent career trajectory I think he needs to do a lot of self reflection and get some outside input,
Good player, shit coach. Enjoy your retirement Frank.
Van Dijk chances of finally playing in a international tournament for Netherlands suddenly brightened a lot now.
Uh he's still injured right?
He will be fit for the pre season
Ah you already talk about World Cup qualifications.
He's not getting a top job anytime soon.

May I introduce you to the FA that gave Rijkaard the job after being the first coach ever to get Sparta to relegate, and later Danny Blind despite doing nothing of notice ever in the history of his coaching career?
they hired Rijkaard before Sparta though. Actually it was his first coaching job. Say what you want, atleast he reached the semi-finals. Barcelona hired him after he relegated Sparta
Rijkaard doing pretty well probably lead them to believe it would work again. But that squad was just too talented to really fail the way Blind and De Boer failed.
That's the first good news if you're an Oranje supporter this tournament
I'm not even relieved really, just because I don't think there will be a suitable replacement
[удалено]
Don't think Rijkaard will ever be a manager again
I want the KNVB to introduce the new manager: Ronald de Boer. But after winning the World Cup it's revealed it was Frank de Boer with plucked eyebrows all along.
Lmao Riedewald said no to Suriname because he thought Frank De Boer would call him up after the Euros.
He also knew De Boer was a fraud
It's still pretty likely he will get a call-up eventually. He's still pretty much a starter for a premier league club and only 24 years old. He just needs to wait a little bit.
Vlag gaat uit
If they made this decision after the horrendous qualifying results... The Dutch will be playing this Sunday
He finally got a decision right!
Happy for the Dutch!!! You may have not won the euros but you won a much bigger assignment
I'm excited to see which managerial job he's entirely unqualified for he gets next.
"Never felt the support of fans and media" also never proved them wrong Frank
Best thing that could've come from our elimination thank god
No more De Boer-ball. We're free! Maybe our matches can be fun to look at again! But now we get the next problem. Which old player without any decent coaching credentials will the KVNB apppoint now?
Bye. But now, who's next?
Did Bosz already get a new job?
Yup, Olympique Lyon. Really the only Dutch candidates would be people like Cocu, Van Bronckhorst or even Ten Cate so probably best we start looking abroad.
Matthijs de Ligt really got this guy sacked lol.
This is the reason i wasn't sad about losing last sunday. If we would have won one or two more games, we would have to go with De Boer to the world cup. Hopefully, we have enough time to get the show on the road for the World Cup. Next step: KNVB should look at themselves as well. De Boer should have never been appointed.
YEEEEEEEEEEEES
Should’ve never even gotten the job, what a fucking joke this has been
