The manager Ronald Koeman of Southampton deny the emerged in his country rumored to become coach of the Netherlands. They came after a disappointing start to the European qualifications under the guidance of the legendary Guus Hiddink.

"Tulips" was one of the strongest teams at the World Cup in the summer, but only came to bronze. After the championship then manager Louis van Gaal left to take over Manchester United, and was succeeded by Hiddink.

The former Barcelona star has been slightly offended by the Dutch Federation that was not originally selected for the job and now has no intention of assuming the role of savior. He was among the candidates after the departure of Van Gaal, but was not elected then.

"The Federation miss their chance with me. When I left Feyenoord, I was interested in the position, but then they choose Hiddink. Now I'm a manager of Southampton and if so want me,will have to wait for the end of my commitment to this club."

"I am very happy here and I want to fulfill my contract to the end. Many wondered why I left Feyenoord and came here, but every day I am convinced that my decision was right," said Koeman.
