Koeman Linked With Holland Job

You didn't need to be a rocket scientist to predict that sooner or later Ronald Koeman would be linked with the Dutch team manager's job.

With Saints great start to the season and the Dutch national teams poor start to the Euro qualifying campaign it was only going to be a matter of tome before Ronald Koeman's name was going to be linked with the job and already the Dutch media is calling for Gus Hiddink to be replaced.

At 67 Hiddink is seen as being too old and set in his ways for the task of running an International side and Koeman's great great start at Saints has pushed his name to the fore.

Koeman was touted for the job prior to joining Saints but was passes over due to being considered too outspoken, but now with their international team in disarray the Dutch FA are being rumoured to be considering Hiddink's position and that is not what Saints fans want to hear.

Of course it would interest any manager to run his countries side but hopefully Koeman will feel he has a job to do here and that he is on a hiding to nothing if he takes on the role at this present time.

That is what Saints fans will hope anyway with Koeman shaping up to be one of the best Saints manager's not only in recent times but if he stays of all time, such is the start he has made at St Mary's
