Koeman was sacked by Everton at the end of October.
Ronald Koeman is set to return to work as manager of the Netherlands national team next week, more than three months after his departure from Everton, De Telegraaf report.
Everton dismissed Koeman after a 5-2 defeat to Arsenal, which saw them slip into the bottom three despite a summer outlay of around £150 million on new signings.
The 54-year-old’s Toffees disappointment does little to taint what is an impressive CV, however, which includes successful spells at Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord and Southampton.
And his talents are well known to Eric Gudde, general director of the KNVB [Dutch football association], who held a similar position at Feyenoord while Koeman was manager there.
According to De Telegraaf, Koeman will be unveiled alongside Nico-Jan Hoogma and Aloys Wijnker next Friday, on a contract which runs until the end of the 2022 World Cup.
However, the report adds that, for the first time in four years, the former Barcelona player will not be joined by older brother Erwin, his assistant at both Southampton and Everton.
It will be interesting to see whether or not he calls up Everton outcasts Davy Klaassen and Maarten Stekelenburg when the Netherlands return to action – against England – next month.
