After finishing runners-up at 2010 World Cup under Bert van Marwijk’s stewardship, the Flying Dutchmen entered UEFA Euro 2012 as pre-tournament favourites. However, three defeats in a row against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 ended
the Dutch’s European Championship voyage in a disappointing manner.
In the aftermath of the Euro 2012 disaster, Van Marwijk was dismissed on mutual consent from his coaching position, and the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Dutch Football Association (KNVB) appointed Van Gaal as the new manager.
And the former Ajax stopper has stressed that Netherlands should forget about their disappointing performances in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032, and look ahead on the future.
“The European championships (performance by us) was mediocre, but let us not forget that under him (Van Marwijk) we also came second in the World Cup. It is now time to look ahead, however. I want the next two years to be of value

in his side’s upcoming qualifier game.
