According to a recent interview with Bureau Sport, Evenblij believes that de Boer, the former Netherlands national team coach, is the ideal candidate to help Willem II stay in the Eredivisie. Evenblij plans to personally approach de Boer to discuss the possibility of taking over as trainer. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Evenblij is worried about the current situation at Willem II and thinks that everything should be focused on avoiding relegation. "There's only one thing that matters now, and that's staying in the Eredivisie," he said. "You have 20 games left, and you have to do everything you can to achieve that."
Evenblij has also mentioned that he wants de Boer to join Willem II, not just for the money. "If Frank would even consider it, I'll make sure to talk to him, and then he won't do it for the money," he said. This statement suggests that Evenblij is serious about his plan and is willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Evenblij has compared his plan to a similar situation in the past, when Co Adriaanse took over as trainer and led the team to the Champions League.
Evenblij's colleague Erik Dijkstra has expressed his surprise at the idea, but Evenblij has reassured him that he is dead serious about his plan. "Erik, you're laughing now, but I really have a pain in my heart," he said. Dijkstra has also acknowledged the uniqueness of the situation and has expressed his respect for Evenblij if he is able to make his plan a reality.
The next step for Evenblij will be to personally approach de Boer and discuss the possibility of taking over as trainer.
