Minute of Silence for Bartina Koeman Before Match Against Germany, Large Banner Welcomes New Coach Xavi
The Netherlands observed a minute of silence before their Nations League match against Germany at the Johan Cruijff Arena to honor Bartina Koeman, who died of breast cancer at age 65. The KNVB expressed support for her family, noting her constant presence beside former coach Ronald Koeman during his career and illness. The match marked the debut of new national team coach Xavi Hernández, who replaced Koeman. A large banner reading 'Welcome Xavi' was displayed behind the goal where Ajax's F-Side usually stands, signaling the start of Xavi's tenure with Oranje.
