Louis van Gaal was named on Wednesday as the new coach of the Netherlands, signing a deal through to next year's World Cup final in Qatar, the Dutch football association said.

In March, Turkey beat the Dutch 4-2 in Istanbul in their opening Group G game although De Boer’s team did bounce back in the next days to pick up six points at the expense of Latvia and Gibraltar.
