He replaced Dick Advocaat who resigned after failing to guide the Netherlands to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Under his management, Netherlands qualified for a final tournament, UEFA EURO 2021, for the first time since 2014 after missing out on the UEFA EURO 2016 and the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
[59] He currently holds the record for 25 consecutive successful penalty conversions in La Liga. [40][41] Koeman later stated his belief that the failure to sign Olivier Giroud in the summer transfer window contributed to his sacking. Koeman bounced back quickly from a disappointing end to his reign at Ajax in February 2005, taking up the vacant position at Portuguese champions Benfica following the departure of legendary Italian Giovanni Trapattoni. [a][14] Both Koeman and his central defensive partner Frank Rijkaard were named in UEFA's Team of the Tournament. Ronald Koeman (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈroːnɑlt ˈkumɑn] (listen); born 21 March 1963) is a Dutch professional football manager and former player, who is the current head coach of La Liga club FC Barcelona. [29][30] In January 2015, Southampton won all three of their matches, including a first win at Manchester United since 1988, and Koeman was again named Manager of the Month.
[51] Regarded as one of the best and most prolific attacking central defenders of all time, due to his eye for goal,[52] Koeman was renowned for his long-range passing, as well as his shooting accuracy and power from distance, especially on free kicks; is the top scoring defender in world football,[12][53] and Barcelona's top scoring defender. [54][58] With 67 goals, he is the second most prolific defender in La Liga history, behind Sergio Ramos. [9] One of his best strikes in La Liga came in the memorable 5–0 win over Real Madrid in 1994, with his bending free kick making the scoreline 2–0. The following is a list of Southampton managers from the founding of Southampton F.C. In 1992, he scored the only goal of the European Cup Final against Sampdoria at Wembley Stadium to make Barça European Champion for the first time in its history. Ajax played at Willem II, but did not score enough goals; it was PSV eventually who triumphed, winning at home 5–1 against Vitesse Arnhem, and thereby becoming Eredivisie champions, one goal ahead of Ajax. Koeman started his professional career at FC Groningen, making his debut at the age of 17 years and 183 days in a 2–0 win over NEC in the Eredivisie. For the second consecutive season he guided a team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, this time defeating another English club in the shape of Arsenal in the first knockout stage,[19] before losing to Liverpool in the quarter-finals. [citation needed], Koeman was appointed the manager of Ajax in 2001. In April 1983, Koeman debuted for the Netherlands national team in a 3–0 friendly loss to Sweden in Utrecht. West Ham shattered Leicester's unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a surprise 3-0 win, while Oriol Romeu's superb strike inspired Southampton's 2-0 victory against West … Pochettino was then chosen by Tottenham Hotspur as Tim Sherwood’s replacement for the 2014/15 season, being appointed as the head coach. [7] Along with players such as Hristo Stoichkov, Romário, Pep Guardiola and Michael Laudrup, Koeman helped the club win La Liga four years in a row from 1991 to 1994. [8] With this, he became the first player to score in two consecutive finals of different European competitions, having scored Barcelona's consolation goal against Manchester United in the 1991 European Cup Winners' Cup Final. [48] In his first competitive game in charge, Barcelona beat Villarreal 4–0 at the Camp Nou in La Liga. Pochettino guided Espanyol to a 10th-place finish, then 11th and eighth in the following two seasons, narrowly missing out on a UEFA Europa League spot in 2010/11.
The following season saw Johan Cruyff take over as Ajax head coach and, despite scoring 120 goals in 34 Eredivisie matches and winning the KNVB Cup, de Godenzonen could only finish second in the league behind rivals PSV. [60], Ronald is the younger brother of Erwin, who was the head coach of Oman, being the first set of brothers to take charge of two different national teams at the same time. [61], He is married to Bartina. He left the club a few months into the 2012/13 campaign and accepted his first job in the Premier League in January 2013. Ajax's fortunes suffered a steady decline after Koeman got off to a successful start at the Amsterdam Arena, winning a domestic double in 2001–02. [3] Abroad, he had spells in Portugal with Benfica and Spain with Valencia, coaching Los Che to victory in the 2007–08 Copa del Rey,[4] and managed Premier League clubs Southampton and Everton in the 2010s. The first secretary manager of the club was Cecil Knight from 1892 to 1895; the first full-time manager of the club was George Swift from 1911 to 1912.. The former Argentina international defender learned his trade at Newell’s Old Boys in his homeland before moving to Espanyol at the start of the 1994/95 season. In his three seasons at PSV, Koeman scored 51 goals in 98 league appearances, averaging more than one goal every two matches. PSV dominated the first season half, keeping competitors AZ and Ajax at a reasonable distance, and PSV seemed almost destined to become champions again.
[35] His brother was again hired as his assistant.
