Former Dutch international footballer George Boateng has said that it may be beneficial to both Everton and the Netherlands if manager Ronald Koeman departs from Goodison Park to take charge of his country.
Holland failed to qualify for the World Cup and coach Dick Advocaat is set to step down.
Boateng said: "Ronald Koeman is having a bit of a wobbly time at Everton. Maybe it might suit both parties - Ronald and Everton - for him to take over the Dutch national team."
"When Ronald Koeman was at Feyenoord he did an amazing job to get the team to finish second and applied for the [Netherlands] job - and they ignored him.
"They appointed Guus Hiddink and he is a father figure for most of us but unfortunately his time with the national team has passed. We have a young group - I call them the social media group - and they needed a young coach to bring them to another level whereby they could qualify.
"The players are there and are good enough to qualify for the next World Cup but it starts with appointing a good coach and one the players will believe 'yes, we can achieve something with this coach'. Don't put in an interim coach because there is no point."
