Van Tiggelen: Holland job won't tempt Southampton boss Koeman

Former Dutch star Adri van Tiggelen doesn't expect Ronald Koeman to be tempted away from Southampton by the KNVB.

The Dutch FA could be forced to find a new national team boss with doubts persisting over Guus Hiddink's ability to lead the Oranje to the 2016 Euros.

Southampton boss Koeman is the man the KNVB wants to succeed Hiddink.

But Van Tiggelen says: "They will have to continue with (assistant Danny) Blind, because the KNVB will need a hefty lump sum of payments to otherwise pay for someone else.

"And who else should they appoint? Ronald Koeman will not do it."
