F. De Boer: "I am not the first coach who debuted with a defeat" © „Imago-Sport“

Frank De Boer failed to debut successfully as the head coach of the Netherlands national team. The team coached by Orlando suffered a friendly defeat at home, 0:1 against Mexico. The loss raised doubts among the fans, as the 50-year-old specialist had previously been quickly dismissed from the clubs "Crystal Palace" and "Inter Milan". "Of course, I feel bad. I always want to win, but we made certain, I would say, logical choices. We did not allow some players to play on the field and soon we will have two more matches. On the other hand, I am not the first coach to start his work with the national team with a loss," clarified F. De Boer. The upcoming matches of the Dutch team will be against Bosnia and Italy in the Nations League.
