Johan Derksen has raised concerns about Nigel de Jong's suitability for the role of national team coach. He believes De Jong lacks understanding of how publicity works and how the media operates. Derksen is perplexed that De Jong claimed Guardiola was his first choice, but he couldn't reach him. He thinks that everyone is reachable, especially if you've worked with Guardiola.
Derksen is also critical of the way De Jong handled the search for a new national team coach. He believes De Jong doesn't know how to handle the media and that he's not aware of how to find a good coach. Derksen thinks Peter Bosz was the ideal candidate and that the KNVB failed to approach him.
Derksen believes the KNVB only took action when Ronald Koeman announced he would step down. He thinks this isn't the right way to find a new national team coach. Derksen believes the KNVB should focus on finding people who are suitable for the role, rather than those who are well-known in the football world. The KNVB should now look for other candidates for the role of national team coach, focusing on those who are genuinely suitable for the position.
