Koeman, out of work since leaving Everton in October, replaces Dick Advocaat, who stepped down after failing to lead the Oranje to the 2018 World Cup. The job will mark Koeman's 10th in a managerial post following spells with Vitesse, AFC Ajax, Benfica, PSV Eindhoven, Valencia CF, AZ Alkmaar, Feyenoord Rotterdam, Southampton, and the Toffees.
