Ronald Koeman will begin his second spell in charge of the Dutch national side after the World Cup later this year, having been appointed as Louis van Gaal's replacement.
Van Goal is set to retire for the second time in his career, having initially returned to coach Holland at Euro 2020. However, his contract only runs until the end of the World Cup and will leave to focus on treatment for prostate cancer.
In his place, his predecessor will return to the fold for his second spell - though he is far from the first manager to have returned to the job. Mirror Football has taken a look at the four managers who can't seem to say no.
Dick Advocaat
Describing Dick Advocaat as a journeyman manager might be a tad harsh on the Dutchman. Known by many for his ill-fated stint at Sunderland, he's actually had an impressive career out in Holland.
He led PSV to the Eredivisie title in 1997, as well as the KNVB Cup the year prior. Advocaat managed the Dutch national side for the first time in 1992, managing 26 games before leaving for PSV in 1994. He returned in 2002, and led the Oranje to a third-place finish at Euro 2004 before again departing.
His third stint was much less successful, however, and he lasted just nine games in 2017, but stepped down after failing to secure qualification to the 2018 World Cup. Advocaat's last stint in management came in a brief spell as Iraq head coach.
Guus Hiddink
Guus Hiddink has a reputation for being a quick-fix manager, having twice swooped into Stamford Bridge to act as an interim manager. But his record as a national side manager is highly impressive.
Hiddink first managed the Dutch national team in 1995, and stayed in the role until the end fo the 1998 World Cup, in which the Oranje were defeated in the semi-finals. He would then go on to repeat that feat at the next World Cup - with South Korea in 2002.
Following that stint at the World Cup, he would then go on a brief world tour, taking up posts at Australia, Russia and Turkey, before landing back in the hot seat at the Netherlands. His second spell was less-than-thrilling, however, and he was fired after failing to qualify for Euro 2016.
Louis van Gaal
One of the finest managers in recent history, Van Gaal will step away from the game for good again this December after the World Cup. Van Gaal, who recently admitted he was fighting prostate cancer, will retire for a second time after his contract expires.
Van Gaal first took up the post in 2000, with an eye on qualifying for the 2002 World Cup. However, he left after failing to qualify, and later claimed he was set to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United before the legendary Scot reversed his decision to retire.
Following that first unsuccessful stint, he went on to manage Bayern Munich, AZ Alkmaar and Barcelona before returning to the Dutch job in 2012. Van Gaal's side breezed through qualifying for the 2014 World Cup, and he guided them to an impressive third-place finish after losing to Argentina in the semi-finals. Van Gaal then left to finally take the United job, before taking a sabbatical from football just two years later. In 2019 he announced he would retire, only to reverse that decision in 2021.
Ronald Koeman
One of the best players of his generation, Koeman's managerial career has never quite hit the same heights. Two Eredivisie titles as manager of Ajax are perhaps his finest achievements, though his last spell in a dugout was his disastrous tenure at Barcelona.
Koeman's first spell with the Dutch national side came in 2018 after he was sacked by Everton. He guided the country to a runner-up finish at the Nations League, before qualifying for Euro 2020. However, he decided to leave the role to take over at Barca, only to be sacked just over a year later.
But he will get his chance to redeem himself in the eyes of fans around the world when he returns to the Dutch job, having signed a contract to run until the 2026 World Cup.
