Reiziger says national coach debate is over: 'It's finished for me'
Michael Reiziger, head coach of Jong Oranje, has closed the door on speculation that he would replace Ronald Koeman as the senior Netherlands national team manager in favor of Xavi Hernández. Reiziger stated that his previous public statement regarding the controversy was sufficient and that he now focuses entirely on leading Jong Oranje to qualification for the 2027 European Under-21 Championship. The team currently sits fourth in Group G with five points from five matches and must win their final three qualifiers against Norway, Slovenia, and Bosnia to secure a playoff spot. Reiziger emphasized that while criticism about his club experience was made by those unfamiliar with his work, he remains committed to his current role and the upcoming crucial matches.
