Dutch national team defender Virgil Van Dijk expressed disappointment that last summer the team's head coach Ronald Koeman left to join Barcelona. According to the player, the Dutch legend had united the team. "We were all saddened because we had a really great coach, we speak from the heart. You can ask every national team player, we all feel the same way. However, we understand the current realities, the coronavirus has caused uncertainty about the European Championship, and this opportunity has arisen," said the defender. "I personally did not try to persuade the coach to stay, no one expected everything to happen so quickly. But we are happy for Ronald and we have to look forward." Currently, Dwight Lodeweges has been appointed as the interim head coach of the Dutch national team, and the team is preparing for Nations League matches against Poland and Italy.
