Southampton boss Koeman not interested in Holland job

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman insists he's not interested in the Holland job.

Koeman is being linked with the post as Guus Hiddink fights for his job.

But he said: "I am the coach of Southampton and Holland will have to wait.

"I was interested in that job because when I left Feyenoord, I was nominated to be the national coach but the federation chose Hiddink.

"In my opinion Holland missed their chance to have me. They had the possibility to speak to me but that is in the past and now is a new situation.

"I am happy to be manager of Southampton and I do not chase this situation. I hope to stay here for the whole contract. There is no chance of me moving out of Southampton.

"I always wanted to be a manager in England and I have a great feeling about Southampton and the chance to be successful.

"The people in Holland are a little bit afraid and disappointed about the results but that is not my problem."
